Just a comment for @rellect - Dolphin browser (iOS app) adblocker is not detected at all (and blocks ads). Thanks in advance if you can have a look

There is a setting in the options page to disable detection on mobiles. Make sure it's set to allow detection on mobiles.

Sorry I've disabled it by error ! I'm gonna hide behind a rock now.
It's indeed working, nevermind !

Hi,

This is a great add-on that I'll get soon. Could we get an option to show some alert and the first post only?
This would give some more motivation to get members to register.

Thanks

Hey,
I will take your suggestion in mind for next updates.
Anyway, the addon provides easy way to detect adblock for self development.
You can easily do what you've described with very minimal JS code.

Thanks, nice to see you got my suggestion.

I can try, but would be hard to me

Since last update I get a lot of reports from registered members that they are sometimes seeing the adblock notice for a short moment, e.g. if the page is still loading and they already click on "New posts".

And I would still love to be able to have a different kind of notice for registered and one for unregistered users. Is there maybe any workaround how I could manage to do this myself?

If the visitor does not let the page load fully, the alert is shown, no matter if the visitor uses an ad-blocker or not.

I don't consider this as a bug, since stopping the page load can always lead to problems.

Not currently.

Since last update I get a lot of reports from registered members that they are sometimes seeing the adblock notice for a short moment, e.g. if the page is still loading and they already click on "New posts".

It happens because when loading is stopped in the middle it also aborts the adblock check, and this automatically detected as action of an adblocker. There is code in place to check if page was aborted manually, but seems it doesn't always work. I'll see if there's something I can do to improve it.

I've a problem with the permissions of "Show alert every X hours".

Currently "Unlimited" means "Always show the ad block alert" and "0" means "Show one time and never again".

However XenForo stacks permissions from "0" to "Unlimited". So, if you give the "Registered" users group (where everyone is in) the permission "Umlimited" to show the alert at every page view you cannot override it with any settings in other groups.

I suggest to change that to have "0" to always show the alert and "Unlimited" to show it only once. This would perform much better with different user groups.

Yes I'm aware of that, but it makes more sense the way it is now. It will be confusing if Unlimited will mean one time alert.
Anyway, in future updates there will be a whole new interface to allow more flexibility.

For me it would make more sense if you change it. "Unlimited" should mean "Show no alert for an unlimited time". And "0" should mean "Show alert every 0 hours = show alert always". Would be more logical to me and not break the group permission stacking of XenForo.

Thanks for considering and changing the interface.

AdBlock can choose to hide the notices. Would be nice to know if they are, and if so applying a new option such as re-direct.

What do you mean by "AdBlock can choose to hide the notices"?

 

[Southfork1]

AB allows you to block anything on a page. It's easy and takes under 10s to hide notices, pop-up notices, etc.

I see, you're talking about a situation where user manually removes the "disable adblock" notice. I'll see what I can do about it.
