Please Disable AdBlock Plus Warning Message never goes away

I have Adblock plus installed on FF and it's always been disabled for FST. I checked blockable items and it only shows FST on the page. Yet starting on 7/31/2013, every single page load gives me a popup. Anyone else get this?

I have EASYLIST installed to update the ad blocking list, it must be adding something to trigger FST popup. When I disable it, no popup. This combo means I can't visit without a popup or I have to disable it entirely.

If anyone knows or can provide the list I can manually add exceptions I guess. All ads are displaying so this a little aggravating but who cares right.

Yes, same.

yeah, also getting the auto prompt about turning it off (mine is off for site also) - i still see the adds

While I do agree to some extent that the ads are needed to fund the site, I believe the consistant popups to be very obtrusive. While FST may *think* the ads are relevant to the content (or whatever message was displayed), I have no intention whatsoever of clicking on any of them anyway.

If I want to purchase something, I either go through Quidco or find out if there's an offer on.

This is a big step backwards IMO and will no doubt alienate quite a few users.

I've disabled mine for FST & also still getting the pop-up

I hear you, but this is my favorite site for this stuff so I'm willing to put up with a lot more than I would from any other site. It looks like the EASY lists override per site rules in Adblock plus, I manually disabled ADSENSE (something) and no popups. But I'm sure now that it won't block on any other site. Anyone know if donations kill ads?

+1 for FST added to exception list but still getting warning message.

I don't mind whitelisting fst but even when I permit the domain with:

Code:

I continue to get the pop up!

I block the ads with ABP, and do not get the pop-up. Just saying this is not a universal issue.

EDIT-Got it on one page. Closed it with the [x] instead of saying "OK". Not sure if that helped me or not.

I do know I would not be "charmed" into complying by annoyance terrorism, though...

The false positives are something tesco or RealitY will have to fix. A JavaScript alert on every page load is somewhat vexing even for those who deliberately leave Adblock on, though. Maybe drawing the banners over a background that says something like "please turn your ad blocker off to support the site" (which would then only appear if they're blocked or hidden) would be a better idea. I do agree with the idea behind this; we don't have pop-ups or those annoying Flash ads that plague other sites, and advertising revenue helps keep the forum alive.

I don't know the specifics, but the welcome thread says donators see "less ads".
