I’m seeing the same issue, only started about 10 days ago. When I pause AdBlock it goes away.

To note I contacted AdBlock to see if it’s an an AdBlock issue - we worked out, via support, that when I enable AdBlock but remove EasyList from the filters (Options > Filter Lists) BlackHatWorld.com works with AdBlock enabled. So it appears to be related to a recent change in the EasyList filter list.

Also contacted BlackHatWorld and they have confirmed there are no changes their end.

An update to the list would be appreciated as I love that forum.

Interesting to see that there are more guys with the same issue. Has anyone got an update on how we fix this? It's gotten too annoying,

It seems for some unknown reason blackhatworld has been added to this list, can this be removed it is clearly a site used by many people.

The filter has been changed a while ago. Also blackhatworld has many ads servers, so nothing else will change here. Complain to the admins, not us.

Their ads servers looks like this:

Code: Select all

https://cdn.advertserve.com/images/dotcomconsultancy.advertserve.com/servlet/files/2863

You are blocking all div elements having

Code: Select all

link--external

- any external link on the site (google, facebook, twitter, etc).

But how can that be the case as when we disable the EasyList filter the problem goes away? So it's clearly an EasyList problem not a BlackHatWorld issue?
We can see there is one adserver on there "Advertserve" not "many ad servers" as you state, but you're blocking BHW.
Umm will report this issue to BHW admins.
