AD-Blockers causing huge problems in Forum Java scripts

  • I have many complaints from members that they can't post any answer at the forums - like button which is not visible etc.


    I discover that 100% of all those issues was caused by the use of AD-Blockers.
    When they disable AD-Blockers or white-listing our community all is fine.


    Now the QUESTION.


    Is it possible to find a solution in this ?
    Most of people is using AD-Blockers in their browsers by default, and since this affecting the java of WBB Forums and plugins, I think is necessary to find a proper way to by-pass it.


    Thanks in advance for your help. :thumbup:

  • are you running a 4.0 or a 4.1 forum ?
    There was a problem with the like button runnung adblockers on wbb4.0 but this should be solved with the wbb4.1 as the button has now a wcf prefix, so social share lists don't recognize it any more.
    And can you ask your users what block lists they are running ?
    I'm using an adblocker too, but have no problems with the current version and posts have never been a problem at all, only likes with wbb4.0...

  • I'm running 4.1 forum my friend.


    And I receive many e-mails from members with problems in posting - like etc.
    They told me that Reply Button or like button NOT APPEARING in their browsers.
    When they stop AD-Blockers all problems gone and all working fine.

  • could you try to disable mod_pagespeed to see if there is a correlation between your problem and the optimization mod_pagespeed does ?
    And ask your users to take a look inside their browser console to see if there is any error which explans the problem...

  • Here you are !!!!



    When AD-Blocker is enabled blocking many java scripts from load and execute them.


    Even editor (redactor) is not running .... and the Reply button becomes UNUSABLE.

    Your issues are caused by mod_pagespeed, it seems to have major issues injecting JavaScript code.

  • So the problem is combined with Pagespeed mod & advertisement.js+WCF.EACheck.js


    Vip members which have ADS Disabled (Not See ADS) don't have any issue.


    But normal members (advertisement.js+WCF.EACheck.js is loaded) they all have the same issue.


    Now I must find a way to overpass this problem and temporary I had to disable PageSpeed Mod by Google in nginx.
