Cannot see screenshots with ad block plus enabled

Just wondering if you have changed something very recently, as now screenshots that have been uploaded do not show when i have ABP on, I have always had ABP and it use to work fine.

 

Regards,

    Just wanted to +1 this.  I noticed this happening about a week ago.  Even adding the mmorpg images directory to the exception list did not solve the problem. 

    Using AdBlock Plus Firefox addon.

    I have the same issue.

    Linux OS and Firefox+Adblock Plus. This used to work a few weeks ago.

    Same here. I can't see any filters that would be causeing this, but I do notice that there's an extra / in the URL of the images:

    http://images.mmorpg.com//images/galleries/formatted/142009/256b6a6f-120b-4828-bd54-a2dc032e7691.jpg

    So instead of images.mmorpg.com/images you get images.mmorpg.com//images

    Maybe that's causing the issue?  Accessing the file directly works fine, just not embedded in the website.

    Dont use the Adblock on MMORPG.Com?? No thats to simple.

    Yes you are very funny congrats. The idea is ad block blocks... well...ads, not screenshots that I wish to look at. It use to work fine, so im guessing MMORPG has changed something to prevent users from using ABP with screenshots, and me and the others here would like that to change. Why come on the helpdesk if your just going to be an idiot.

    Why should they help you. Your not paying them. You dont like it Tough Cookies.

    And im well aware that Ad block on FireFox Blocks ads. IM USEING IT. Perhaps its Not MMORPG's Fault but yours?

    Ad Block is blocking your images here. Dont use Ad block, Dont look at Images, Go else where. The Ads are paying for the bandwith to download those Images.

    I can't view any news on here now, at least not the full article - same for the images like you said. However, I have MMORPG set to 'subscription' disabled for the site in Adblock Plus, so I don't understand why this is happening. I shouldn't have to completely not use the software so this site works - other sites don't have this problem and work just fine when i whitelist them for ads.

    Ningen wa ningen da.

    I have just started to notice this as well, the articles I am unable to click READ etc. This must of been changed even more recently because it worked fine last week.

     Somehow MMORPG.com has always been very slow on this PC (linux +firefox). I know that its partly because the flash performance under Linux has always been bad and lot of the ads use that. I dont mind ads that much, but using Adblock Plus increases the performance of this website greatly on this PC.

    In a different thread someone from MMORPG.com already stated that they are not trying to block adblock users.

    So thats why non of the article links were working for me. :(

  • DameonkDameonk Member UncommonPosts: 1,914

    Found the issue, it was so simple. :D


    1. Right click ABP icon.

    2. Go to Preferences.

    3. Ctrl+F.

    4. In the "Find" bar at the bottom of the window search for mmorpg.com##

    5. Make sure the box for "Enabled" is unchecked next to mmorpg.com##a[target="_blank"]

    6. ???

    7. Profit!
