Thanks for the answer.Ask at the place where you downloaded the script.
Out of interest why do you want to override a user's choice to not show ads on your site?
Any site that I visit that does not allow me to blocks ads I just walk away from.
Welcome to the internet. Please link to the actual download, not just a website in general - that's what links are for. If you care for details you're prone to solve detail problems like the one you have/had now.
The idea of the internet is to spread information, not making profit. If maintenance cost is a problem to you then also consider closing your website instead.
In theory. Practically a lot of things are classified as "uses AD blocker" for it, even if neither a generic AD blocker was used, nor "the" AD blocker. I've encountered this numerous times just because I allow almost nothing thru uMatrix and websites mostly insist I should switch off something which I don't even use (that's the irony: I already switched off most things). And when I turn off JS entirely for your website I'm not even bothered with that nag message to begin with and can browse your board freely.
well, even https://blockadblock.com/ cannot stop the functions of uBlock Origin to block ads as well as block the anti ad blocker scripts. even though it's supposed to as mentioned above, when most people get hit with an anti ad block page, they simply move on. i for one hate ads, they do nothing for me, and certainly do not entice me to spend my time or money. the only ads that even remotely interest me are movie/show previews as i watch a lot of movies. i have a nice sony stereo in my truck that i don't even use the tuner on because i hate ads that much and only listen to usb or satellite radio. my theory is, if you can't afford it, don't do it. web hosting is not that expensive. i'm unable to work due to health issues and forced to live off my wife's fixed income and am pretty much completely broke all the time but still pay my yearly hosting.mll wrote: ↑Wed Sep 23, 2020 9:19 pm Hi.
There is a script to block adblock users, and it is on this site https://blockadblock.com/.
However, when I add it in overal header or footer I am getting error Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token '}'
This is my forum link: https://forum.mllapan.com/
Is there an solution for this?
Ads eat my bandwidth before they're able to achieve anything, and ads can also spread malware.
There's a site that I go on a lot but I block the ads. While the site is a legitimate site that has a phpBB board and their ad service is by a legitimate company, plenty of malicious advertisements have gotten through their attempts to weed them out, and they have done some pretty malicious things, like downloading malware to my device or attempting to, impersonating my ISP, survey scams, etc. At best, those are extremely annoying when my browser is hijacked and at worst a major security risk. On that site, it is such a major problem that they have a topic for people to report each time they've encountered one and provide a url.

No, it's not sports related. I stupidly posted the site here, but I just removed it. I'm going to block those advertisements regardless of your opinion, and they do use Google as their ad service so it's not an illegitimate or shady company.
What? You knew that right away before I picked up that point? And still ask why people should not swallow what is shoved into their throat? I miss the old times when ads were only static pictures (before they started to animate, before Flash came along).timeforhelp1 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 18, 2020 8:17 pmI get the malicious ads thing, I unfortunately served some many moons ago when I was testing revenue streams.
I'm curious, since phpBB never had threads - actually you're longer a member here than me and should know better. Letting go of details and precision is one way to live, but not mine. I can only assume that concepts like online advertizing only make sense when not looking close enough at all that. Again: the internet's purpose is not making money - stop using phpBB, because that comes free without any ads, not fitting your philosophy.timeforhelp1 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 18, 2020 8:17 pmI googled powered by phpbb lol, I like to look at how they are run etc and there is one board that has a thread
For me it's simply control: either I have it, or things won't happen. But I experienced an overwhelming majority that does not even want control. As if it was a burden or nuisance. As if they need commands and guidance.timeforhelp1 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 18, 2020 8:17 pmyou can't surf the net with a tin hat on screwing people over, and to use using an ad blocker as an excuse for dodgy ads is lame, just as 'it's my bandwidth' blah blah is.
I like your metaphor. In all seriousness, I agree, I am not going to put my computer at risk if I don't have to and not all sites have an ad free subscription that can be paid for nor are all sites worth spending money on.
