Hello,

I'm a forum staff member at forum.phun.org and I run into the same problem over and over again with the EasyList blocking useful (non-ad) JS. I keep finding myself explaining to users how it's their ad blocker breaking certain forum functions. The filter in question is:

Code: Select all

||phun.org/*.js|

…which doesn't block any actual ads or anything like that. It just blocks some JS required for normal forum functions like our "thanks" button.

We do have a pretty annoying ad that loads a pop-up/under for LiveJasmin, which is the choice of the site owner not me, but it's a 3rd-party script and not served from "phun.org". We don't serve any ad JS from the "forum.phun.org" domain, only vBulletin-associated JS. If that's why this filter was added, then I ask that you switch it out for the correct domain:

Code: Select all

||yzus09by.com|

Or, if that isn't the reason, then it's likely because of the front/blog page (http://phun.org vs http://forum.phun.org) which is, for all intents and purposes, a different site than the forum. I'm not sure what ads, if any, are served there. But if that's the case, maybe you could add an exception for the "forum" subdomain? ("forum.phun.org/*.js")

Either way I'd block "yzus09by.com", but we'd appreciate getting our forum JS unblocked one way or the other.

Thanks.
