content: Yep, today that's what we have. Refreshing the page does work, on some forum pages, but not on all of them. I wasn't sure it wasn't just a location-dependent problem, but you guys confirm that it's affecting others.Probably a server issue. IIRC, the http server is nginx, and frankly I've witnessed recurring issues with nginx compared to Apache. Not meant to be a flamewar of any kind, just a note. I personally would not use nginx as a http server. Just too finicky IMHE. Maybe it has nothing to do with nginx this time though, so in this case, consider it just a random rant.

My guess would be that uBlockOrigin assumes to containcommercial stuff.Edit: Erm, sorry, that's actually Commercial stuff Dave hosts on his server... And there is nothing else in the Network-Log that could indicate that th eimages are filtered out.Haven't spend too much time to fiddle around in the uBlock filter settings to circumwork the filter. Which seems to be a build in filter.

So I might not be giving the best of advice.It is a bit like trying to figure out, if your new project, doesn't work, because of hardware or software problems, which can be tricky to get to the bottom of.Similarly, I'm not sure who to blame, the forum server(s), or the adblockers and similar.

content: Yes, apart from the sites that deliberately block access when they detect an adblocker, this forum is pretty much one of the rare sites that I've had similar problems with when using adblockers.I can't really figure why it would block images that are definitely not in the blocking filters, at least as far as I can tell, that may be hidden somewhere. Now possibly adblockers mess with the caching parameters of the forum or maybe it's even on a server level. (That would allow me to have gripes with nginx again) The fact images come back (sometimes) when you refresh the pages does suggest this is related to some caching issue.

The ads here were never annoying and don't contain spyware like google ads do, so don't care about seeing them. If that's the case then whitelisting the site may very well be the only way as it's not really an issue with the site at that point.Edit: Adding eevblog.com andwww.eevblog.comin the whitelist seems to have fixed the issue, and also the cosmetic filtering option others mentioned.

This is of course nothing new.I suspect one of the other tinfoil hat types has reported some images and links as adverts/SPAM and the eevblog site has ended up on it.Nevermind, I don't mind adverts on here, the forum is free to use after all. Plus I can't be arsed with blockers these days (stopped using them >15yrs ago) they only seem to cause issues either blocking stuff you want to get to or from justing being a bloatware full of security holes.Might go back to Lynx, far superior browsing experience.

content: Quote from: edpalmer42 on March 14, 2023, 05:03:01 pmWell, it at least seems to be functioning, (showing small images and icons), for me, unobstructed, now (after updating the lists, via my adblocker).Presumably, those remaining artifacts (of EEVblog), are part of the detection and hiding of unwanted (if you are using an adblocker), adverts and/or trackers.It would be interesting to know, how and why, those entries got into the EasyList. But, maybe to save time and hassle, or to keep the complainers identities secret, or some other reason(s). They don't allow easy access to how things came about.I only recently heard of EasyList, and still don't really know that much about it.One question that comes to mind. If we as users, click 'block element' (typically on an annoying image), on our adblocker. Does the fact we did that, get sent back to adblocker / EasyList, and cause them to do anything with the information?

content: It's fixed. I just manually updated Adblock's filter lists and right after that the issues went away.

I realize I'm talking about an adblocker here, but now, all the banner ads are being filtered out and I have no control over that unless I exempt eevblog from all filtering. But, there are a few items that I want to filter. It's one thing to deprive some megacorp of some advertising revenue, but I don't want to deprive Dave of any source of income.In another message, it was suggested that a line could be added to your personal filters that would allow eevblog. Unfortunately, that fix blocked other personal filters from functioning. Basically, I haven't been able to find a solution that has the granularity I want.Ed

content: Just for interest Adblock Plus was working fine with Easylist re enabled as of yesterday and the top banner adds were hidden just as it used to be. When I removed the custom block/hiding of them they re appeared as you should expect.Until at a minimum the rolling yellow peril that is JLPCB is un giffed and toned way down then they are going back on the custom block list. Overall the two add blocks in the banner are way to much vertical real estate on each page change.
