Dave-H Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) I'm now getting a nag banner popping up on MSFN all the time, on Firefox 52.9ESR/Windows XP and Firefox 71/Windows 10 asking me to switch off my ad blocker on the site and/or register and donate. As I already have my ad blocker (AdBlock+) disabled on MSFN, and I am a "Platinum Sponsor", I'm a bit puzzled by this! I think it started when the New Year started, does something on MSFN need to be updated? Edited January 1, 2020 by Dave-H Amendment
bphlpt Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 I thought it was just me. Yeah, I'm getting the same behavior that started today. I'm on a Chrome variant. Cheers and Regards
Tripredacus Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Seeing that nag while logged in. On two different computers and browsers. In addition, the "condensed" view option on Activity Stream view has stopped working. It shows Expanded view if either option is selected.
i430VX Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 I'm also seeing the nag, today is the first day I notice it but i haven't been very active recently.
win32 Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 It's been happening to me ever since 2020 started in UTC 00:00 (so around 7 pm on December 31 for me).

WinClient5270 Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 No longer happening for me as of this evening. Seems the issue has been fixed 1
Dave-H Posted January 3, 2020 Author Posted January 3, 2020 Yes, seems to be fine now here too! Thanks.
Tripredacus Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 and the Activity Streams view condensed works again too!
Dave-H Posted February 5, 2020 Author Posted February 5, 2020 The ad blocking nag banner has come back again for me. I changed my ad blocker from Adblock Plus to uBlock Origin recently, so I don't know if that might be the cause, it's disabled on this site of course. As a Platinum Sponsor I shouldn't be seeing any ads anyway!
jumper Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 So we need a plug-in that hides plug-ins from nosey scripts.
Tripredacus Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 It showed up for me yesterday, I just clicked the X and it didn't come back today.
