    The current culprit appears to be 89.234.66.106. No idea what it is since it doesn't appear to have a reverse DNS lookup, which is another reason to block it IMO.

    Thanks Alun - that done the job

    Is there a way to whitelist boards.ie as a whole on adblock but still block specific elements? Like I don't want to block all ads but I'd like to block troublesome ones, and there's also a few signatures around that are within sig rules but that I'd still like to block.

    No need to whitelist boards.ie, just click on the adblock thingy in the status bar and selectively blacklist all the entries that look like ads. It's usually best to remove any trailing crap off the url's, and just replace it with a wildcard (*) that way you'll block everything from that site.

    My adblock plus comes with a pre-populated list of ads. Before I had boards.ie whitelisted, it was automatically blocking all the "good" ads from the top of the page.

    This is mad I'm waiting days for a thread to form (using Opera) I may or may not be able to read any replies. :( Oddly the front page is fine.

    Fix it Admins whatever it is.

    What ad is causing grief? I have an adblocker built into my firewall so I need a name on the ad to er add it to my list.

    Mike.

    A "good" ad is an oxymoron.

    What about the ads that help contribute to boards.ie's upkeep? I've heard the revenue isn't much, but it's better than nothing and most of the ads are non-obtrusive.

    Ah but you subscribe you can enjoy ad free boards and not feel bad about the loss of revenue tbh. :)
