I'm not using an Ad-Blocker, possible issue.

Normally I use the popular ad-blocker plugin for Firefox, but I'm not on this browser and I see the ads on this site, but I got a notice telling me that I'm using an ad-blocker when I went to check my U2U. I refreshed a couple times and it was still there. It finally went away but I want to express my frustration with this new features.

For one, I am not using a blocker so it's obviously a little broke.. and secondly, believe it or not, Everybody doesn't have a computer or a connection that can support is extra loading or the resources used by flash...

Do you have numbers showing the loss of revenue due to ad blocking? Do you screen your ads for resource hogging ads?

I just had this just now too...

I think its ATS way of getting us to lower our personal PC defenses so they can infiltrate the info on our PC's.

You know like remote assistance only they assume we are asking for their help when we havnt and they jump on our PC's and do what they like...

At least thats my honest opinion.

What the heck

I get the same message too when using Chrome, there is no feature for me to adjust....

I'm here now using Explorer but I don't want to.

Chrome not allowed on ATS now or what???

Why should I be blocked from using Chrome when ads are already blocked for me because of This

Haha really? Wow, you should take off the tin foil hat.

On topic, I got the message, just had to refresh my white list for addblocker and now it's fine.

just had the same problem here, using firefox, reloaded page a couple of times, and restarted firefox and it went away, was very anoying.
p.s., happened after i went to a subscribed thread

I got it too, ... it seems like alot of people are getting it.


I'm gonna go grab something to snack on while I watch all hell break loose.

take it easy guys.

So it turns out I don't even know how to add ATS to an exception list in AdBlock Plus,so now this stupid message is going to pop up constantly.

Do you see the red stop sign at the top right corner of your browser?

If you do, click that. Then click 'disable for abovetopsecret.com'

That will disable it for the whole site. You can repeat the process for BTS if you go there.

If you don't see that stop sign with ABP, then I'm not sure what to do.
