Anyone else, seeing small images from forum, not appearing i.e. mostly text only

<< < (7/15) > >>

Ya, I'm seeing it sometimes. Turned adblock off for that page, and three big ads appeared at the TOP of the page, filling way too much of the page. One of them animated. Turned adblock right back on. I'd rather live with the problem for now.

Edit: explained here: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Per-site-switches

and known as "element hiding" in Adblock Plus.

You're welcome :)

Thank you, PlainName.  I disabled Ublock-Origin cosmetic filtering on this site only, and everything is restored.

xrunner:
Odd issue though ...

The smaller graphics items like the arrow you click on to see the last post from each member in "Show new replies to your posts" was being blocked - BUT only in the list "Show new replies to your posts" NOT in the list "Show unread posts since last visit".

I disabled Adblocker and it now shows the graphics items. But why now? I've used Adblocker for years and it never did this kind of blocking.

Somebody, friend or foe, added eevblog com in the blocking list called "EasyList".  >:(
If I uncheck the "EasyList" from the uBlock origin settings, it all comes to normal.

However, I still want to have the other blocks from that list (there are thousands of websites in it), so a workaround would be to make a local copy of the EasyList, delete the eevblog line from it, then import the local file instead (and let the EasyList unchecked in the settings) but I didn't try importing yet.

The right thing to do would be to remove eevblog from the official online "EasyList", but I don't know how to contact the maintainers of the EasyList.  :-//

Anybody knows how to request the removal of eevblog.com from the official EasyList?

LATER EDIT:
I'm browsing from a live OS and an ancient laptop that barely renders any web page, so I can not ask for removal, but found the instruction at the bottom of the https://easylist.to/

Problems with other filter lists should be reported to their respective authors.

Yes, I tried asking ChatGPT, and it seems to know.  I just tried the website it links to, and it seems to be about right.

Response:

--- Quote ---The EasyList is maintained by the open-source community, and anyone can contribute to it. If you believe that a website should be removed from the EasyList, you can submit a request to the EasyList maintainers to consider removing it.

Here are the steps to submit a request to the EasyList maintainers:

    Go to the EasyList forum: https://forums.lanik.us/
    Click on the "Report incorrectly blocked content" button on the top right of the page.
    Provide the following information in your report:
        The URL of the website that you believe should be removed from the EasyList.
        A brief explanation of why you think the website should be removed.
    Submit your report.

The EasyList maintainers will review your request and decide whether to remove the website from the EasyList. Keep in mind that the EasyList is intended to block ads and other unwanted content, so websites that have a lot of ads or other intrusive content may be more likely to be included in the list.
