I suspect it's vbseo causing the problem, since your plugin works on sections of my site where vbseo doesn't operate. I had to uninstall, but I understand you can't be expected to take all configurations into consideration.

Well, if I know it's an SEO problem that helps. I can look into it with that in mind. Thanks.

amazing mod

Tagged for now. Definately interested, but will see how things go with possible vbseo compatibility before installing, having read what Doug said earlier in the thread.

Thanks to a generous donation this mod has found it's way back toward the top of my pile :)

I plan to check out possible vbseo issues, as well as strength the blocking via a few methods I've been playing with.

And statistics? :)

Yes, and stats :p

This is really pretty interesting. I've been playing with all kinds of ideas, and found a few that seem to work well. Of course, for a skilled user it's always a losing battle, but we can make it hard enough to not be worth it for joe/jane user I think.

Okay, this has gotten very interesting. I've stumbled on something that seems to be working, I'm just getting out the kinks.

The long and short is, I piggy back on the vbulletin_global.js javascript file to re-insert the removed google ads via ajax. This only works if you are using vbulletin's built in adsense support. But, as far as I can tell it's unblockable (without shutting down all javascript and ajax for the entire forum) - even using noscript.

Now that's seriously cool. And a much more PC solution than blocking users.

Yeah, except it doesn't work *sigh*

lol

Back to the drawing board. I'm learning a lot about ad blocking software at least. :p
