Is it just me...?

I use ad block, in the cave and everywhere. It works great. Until today. For the first time, on the individual dragon pages, I am seeing TJ's annoying message.

Like this:



Are you getting this too? And why is adblock not blocking it?


(Argh, posting pictures here is a pain. I love DW but LJ makes that part of things so much easier. *grin*)

ETA - Sorry for the size. :( I don't kow how to fix the size since DW only accepts urls from the internet, so I can't pick a posting size for the image.

Hm, I know when TJ's anti-blocking banner first started showing up, AdBlock didn't block it. Then eventually I downloaded AdBlock's main subscription filter and it did block the banner as well as ads. (I don't use AdBlock any more, because it chokes my browser. I use Flashblock instead, which blocks the annoying animated ads and leaves the [mostly] less offensive static ads.)

Okay, I went and enabled AdBlock, and I'm looking at the Cave and I'm not seeing TJ's banner. Are you using any of AdBlock's filters, or are you setting up your own filters? As I recall, TJ uses rotating image names on his banners so you can't simply block the banner, and it's from his static.technoized.com domain, so you can't block the whole domain, either, or you end up stuff you need to use the Cave. I don't know how the filter works to block it... let me investigate...

Okay, the filter I'm using is EasyList, from here: https://easylist.adblockplus.org/en/

It's a huge list of stuff that it blocks, but I found that it's blocking "dragcave.net###prefooter" which must be the CSS element that contains the ads and the banner. Try subscribing to EasyList, or just adding that line to your filters and see what happens.

I think I figured it out. :) I mentioned it just above you. Thank you for the EasyList link though, I'm saving that and it seems super handy. I appreciate it!

Cool, glad you figured it out! EasyList is pretty handy, it blocks tons of stuff I could never figure out on my own.
