That could mean, the forum server(s), need work or improvement or to stop using the problematic advert system (I don't mean stop all adverts, just the one or more, that is causing these issue(s) ). But I don't really properly understand the wider implications of this issue, or what causes it. 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. |

Sometimes a refresh will bring them back but I've not seen avatars or images on any posts since yesterday. I am using adblock, but not, as far as I know, on this site (one of the few!) |

No such problem here :-//. All content is loading fine. |

I haven't looked at the changelog but yesterdays 'update' has broken SMF's image handling and maybe some of the CSS is getting blocked leading to none or sketchy image issues. --- End quote --- I disabled my Adblock Plus, by clicking on its red icon, towards the top of the browser, and flipping the 'This Website' enable / disable slider. The forum then does indeed seem to be working, fine. You seem to be saying updated on the February 6th. But, it is now 7th March (depending on time zone). --- End quote --- :palm: :-DD What year is it my Brain is mush...... More likely then I guess something in the filter list is causing an issue. In a long term use of Adblockers I have never seen any of them comprehensively break a site like this. Everywhere else I have browsed including a non SMF Forum has been fine. I did log a report to AdblockPlus for what it is worth too :-// |

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 ;D ) The fact images come back (sometimes) when you refresh the pages does suggest this is related to some caching issue. |
