so, ...
replace:
Aak.uw.showmsgblock = function () {};

with:
for (i in Aak.uw) { Aak.uw = function () {}; }


They sure move fast. They have already changed things up again. I did the last edit, and am still getting blocked.

EDIT: It's working. I did a typo. Thanks again

As JSHint likes to say, "don't make functions in loops" (I guess it's a performance or memory issue); try this instead:

Code: Select all

var noop = function () {}, au = Aak.uw, i;
for (i in au) if (au.hasOwnProperty(i) && typeof au[i] === 'function') au[i] = noop;

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but if you inspect the element in Chrome, you can edit the code and remove it. It's a little extra work, but it completely circumvents the stupid adblock overlay.

I once did something like this with the blank-image overlays on Twitter and Flickr; then I learned to block them with custom filters; however, if what you need to do doesn't amount to blocking a Web request or removing an entire element (which has a similar effect to setting display:none!important), then it's either what you posted or automating via a UserScript.

It's about as inconvenient as unpacking an off-store Chrome extension just to be able to install it (in Beta or Stable versions of Chrome for Windows), but sometimes it's what you need to do.

I did of course, immediately, but it was unimpressed and turned red again.

And, as I write before, the address does not work, everything will be returned.

So I took your advice an use other websites now. IT si a shame, vipleague did work excellently! Best one I ever used in almost ten years...

My mistake.....

...missed the "for" pasting the correction.

But it looks like the site is out of control by now, all links are opened at the same time----

After opening, there used to be a list of "games", you click in one of them, and the list of links appears.

Now all the links on every page, for every Game is automatically visible from the beginning... that makes for a very long webpage....
