To whom it may concern... the pop up asking me to disable adblock used to only show up on the main page even as i'm logged in, it now shows up while i'm viewing a thread or on the forum and just today wont allow me to "continue without supporting". As someone who PAYS to use this site please stop antagonizing me and make it so this pop up quits showing up for platinum members... I will not disable adblock and if the insult continues i may stop supporting altogether...

Thanks


Mod edit: If you are experiencing issues dismissing the adblock notification message or are forced to whitelist the site, please post in this thread or contact administrators to inform them know of your issues accessing the site.

*TS Edit: @jei what does "whitelisting this site" actually mean? If I allow an exemption with adblock will I get the invasive and unbearable adds even as a plat? Or will I not get ads but by "whitelisting" allow some kind of access otherwise not available to your end?

This issue seems to be only on PC. As stated below, the problem can be worked around by refreshing multiple times until the option to "continue without supporting us" is there.

The pop up can show up on the main page, hovering on the forum, and in a specific thread and seems kinda random but, recently much more regularly, to the tune of every time I'm on and multiple times once it's closed.

I get that a site needs to fund itself and I appreciate this site so I decided to show that and pay for it. Been paying for three or four years. I don't click any adds on any site, thus the add blocker. Ppc, conversions, leads, etc, I have some understanding of the internet marketing world and this "issue" seems lazy and frankly, insulting. Not just to a paid members but any member. There has to be better ways to make revenue than ostracizing the users. Certainly less invasive ways...

This site is part of all of our lives to varying degrees and it would be a shame for something like this to damage any relationships. Please let me know if I can help in any way to resolve this issue. Screen caps, patterns, etc...

*Edit #2: Problem seems to be solved, thanks @jei for having our backs! greatly appreciated...

The pop up won't stop. There's no option to continue without disabling ad block. Then the page is filled with garbage.

Thank you for bringing this specific issue to our attention, I have forwarded it immediately to the powers that be.
 
As from a couple of days ago this popup keeps appearing for me too. It's annoying when sites, and there are a lot, do this. I will not disable my adblocker.
 
Yeah, it’s not just that it asks me to disable my adblocker (and the ads on sherdog are so intrusive I won’t. If they weren’t pop ups that I have to exit out of to type or redirects I would) it’s that today about 20% of the time the “continue without supporting” button isn’t there. And then it takes a few refreshes for it to come back or an exit out and open fresh.
 
Yea I been getting a lot of that today as well
 
I now have no choice but to disable AdBlock when on this site. That is a desperate sign from Sherdog. I do however have a choice not to come back. I am sure I will be among the many that now go that route
 
I am willing to support Sherdog with ads but the problem is with all those malicious ads/redirects and memory leaks that come from them.

Otherwise I wouldn't be using adblock at all.
 
Same for me. Had no choice but to disable adblock, but the ads at the bottom behave weird
 
You guys can take this off the exemption list and turn your block back on. When the pop up appears (which is a few times a day) just F5 or refresh, it's like the pop up is on a cycle and every 3rd or 4th refresh will give the option to continue.

If you don't get the option to "continue without supporting us" just keep refreshing the page, after a few tries I always get the "button" back
 
If they continue pushing this ad nonsense, I'll be finding a new forum.

I turned ad blocker off and there was shit jumping around all sides of my screen constantly. Get a grip.
 
I’ll never not use Ad-Blocker especially with how ridiculous this site is with ads, what a fucking embarrassment sherdog has become.

It’s clear they are on their last legs and said fuck it let’s see what we can get away with. This is why forums are dying.
 
Yeah, can an admin give us a heads up on this. If adblock is not going to be allowed anymore, it would be nice to know.

On a side note, I only use adblock because Sherdog ads are so utterly ridiculous, and potentially harmful. I'm cool with ads...when they don't fuck with my PC.
 
I am enjoying this new feature.

Pretty soon I'm going to be spending more time paying attention to the tasks I'm paid to pay attention to.

Pls help, Sherdog.
 
So I keep getting these pop ups as well but I’m plat.
I pay not to have pop ups but you’re pushing them anyway. This is some bull shit and not the first time it’s happened. What’s the point of paying for Plat if Shedog doesn’t keep the promise of what they’re selling.

Yea I am a plat too, I don't get that.
 
So is this just a thing now? Having to refresh page 3 times for “continue without supporting” to re appear?

My browser even allows the non cancerous ads at the bottom of the page. Tried sherdog without any adblocker and it’s unusable. Those toxic ads will kill the site’s profitability faster than any adblocker will.
 
please fix asap it keeps happening and im ready to fill this joint with upperccuts
 
Sherdog should advertise that I post here.

I'm also missing the continue without option. Refreshing like 4 times usually makes the "admiral script blocker" go away. I'm surprised ABP hasnt caught the admiral script hook yet.
