Red Squirrel:
Come to think of it, aren't the ads here self hosted?  In theory they shouldn't be getting blocked, unless the ad blockers are detecting it because of their size and then blocking other images too?  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 and www.eevblog.com in the whitelist seems to have fixed the issue, and also the cosmetic filtering option others mentioned.

The three (currently) banner adds I had to add manually to Adblock Plus as items to block.

The issue really seems to be that somehow or someone has added EEVBlog to one of the SHARED data files used by multiple Blockers.

They are self hosted, but no, it doesn't mean they can't be filtered, otherwise adblockers would not work at all. Read posts above to see what filters are being applied to this site.

These ones seem to be OK (ublock list):

--- Code: ---! https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/11094
eevblog.com##[href*="offers"]
eevblog.com##[src*="banner"]
||eevblog.com/images/*.gif$image
--- End code ---

One of these seems to cause the problem (easylist, found by RoGeorge):

--- Code: ---eevblog.com###text-49
eevblog.com##[data-pagespeed-url-hash][onload^="pagespeed"]
eevblog.com##[href^="http://s.click.aliexpress.com/"]

--- End code ---

Red Squirrel:
Interesting that it made the built in list, I would not have figured as this is kind of a niche site, ex: it's not like it's Facebook or something. 
EEVblog:
I saw just before with "Offline" text next to the profile name. Not in this thread though, it seems fine.
Happens form tiem to time, I think it has something to do with the dual database system or something.
gnif would know.
