Miscellaneous Hacks - Anti Adblock Message in Threads

Ad blocking plugins like Adblock Plus are one of the most popular addon fors browsers today. However these addons deny publishers revenue to operate their sites.

One way to force users to disable Adblock is to deny them site content until they disable adblock. The following template modification is the vBulletin implementation for the antiblock script from http://antiblock.org/ . This script will prevent users from viewing thread content and ask them to disable Adblock.

Implementing this hack is very easy. In your style manager select the style that you are using and open

Show Thread Templates > SHOWTHREAD

In showthread go to the bottom of the page and just before

</body>
</html>

Paste the following code.

<style>#u539880{position:fixed!important;position:absolute;top:0;top:expression((t=document.documentElement.scrollTop?document.documentElement.scrollTop:document.body.scrollTop)+"px");left:0;width:100%;height:100%;background-color:#fff;-moz-opacity:0.9;-khtml-opacity:0.9;filter:alpha(opacity=90);opacity:0.9}#u539880 p{-moz-opacity:1;-khtml-opacity:1;filter:none;opacity:1;font:bold 16px Verdana,Arial,sans-serif;text-align:center;margin:20% 0}#u539880 p a,#u539880 p i{font-size:12px}</style><noscript><style>html,body{margin:0;padding:0;height:100%}</style><div id=u539880><p>Please enable JavaScript!<br>Bitte aktiviere JavaScript!<br>S'il vous pla&icirc;t activer JavaScript!<br>Por favor,activa el JavaScript!<br><a href="http://antiblock.org/">antiblock.org</a></p></div></noscript><script>(function(){function a(a){if(c){return}c=1;d.body.innerHTML+='<style>html,body{margin:0;padding:0;height:100%}</style><div id=u539880><p>Please disable your ad blocker!<br>Bitte deaktiviere Deinen Werbeblocker!<br>Veuillez d&eacute;sactiver votre bloqueur de publicit&eacute;!<br>Por favor, desactive el bloqueador de anuncios!<br><a href="http://antiblock.org/?d=2.0024'+')$('+escape(a)+')$('+t+'">antiblock.org</a> <i>v2.0024</i></p></div>'}function $(a){return d.getElementById(a)}function r(a){return Math.floor(Math.random()* a)}var w=window,d=document,u='undefined',s='',c,t=2000,U=['adireland.com','baronsoffers.com','boo-box.com','as.devbridge.com','break.com/ads/preroll/','images.mylot.com','themes420.com/bnrsbtns/','loveme.com','johnbridge.com/vbulletin/images/tyw/cdlogo-john-bridge.jpg','madskristensen.net/discount2.js'],l=U.length,I=['AdServer','HeaderAdsBlock','VM-footer-adspace','ads728bottom','adtxt','header-advertisement','spotlightad','textAd','video_overlay_ad','whoisRightAdContainer'],L=I.length,P=document.getElementsByTagName('img'),p=['ad&program=revshare&','.net/ads/','/adpeeps/ad','/adrotate/ad','/bigad.','/dcloadads/ad','/linkedads/ad','/premium_ad.','/top-ad-','/top728.html'],b,j='',S=d.getElementsByTagName('script'),i;for(i=0;i<L;i++){if(!$(I[i])){s+='<a id="'+I[i]+'"></a>'}}d.body.innerHTML+=s;setTimeout(function(){for(i=0;i<L;i++){s=$(I[i]);if(s.offsetParent==null||(w.getComputedStyle?d.defaultView.getComputedStyle(s,null).getPropertyValue('display'):s.currentStyle.display)=='none'){a('#'+I[i])}}b=r(P.length-1);if(typeof P[b].src!=u){s=new Image();s.onload=function(){s=new Image();s.onerror=function(){a(b)};b=P[b].src+(P[b].src.indexOf('?')==-1?'?':'&')+p[r(p.length-1)];s.src=b};s.src=P[b].src}for(i=S.length-1;i>=0;--i){if(S[i].src){j=S[i].src.substr(7,20);s={'js.adscale.de/getads':'adscale','view.binlayer.com/ad':'blLayer','www.sponsorads.de/sc':'preferrer','get.mirando.de/miran':'Mirando','bdv.bidvertiser.com/':'report_error','ads.adtiger.de/adscr':'adspirit_pid','www.contaxe.com/go/g':'HLSysBannerUrl','ads.w3hoster.de/adsi':'w3Fixv','exchangecash.de/laye':'excash_scriptloaded'};if(typeof s[j]!=u&&typeof w[s[j]]==u){a(j+':'+s[j])}}}try{s=new XMLHttpRequest()}catch(e){s=0}if(s){try{for(i=0;i<l;i++){s.open('GET','http://'+U[i],true)}}catch(e){if(typeof e=='object'&&e.message.substr(0,9)=='Component'){a(U[i]+e.message)}}}},t)})();</script>

That's it.

The code is for v2.0024 and may be updated as adblock develops countermeasures for it.

This is what i want exactly. But when i place it in Showthread, some functions are not working...

How ironic... Just right click on pop up warning page and say block with adblock then your anti block message disappear and not appear again )

[mattballew]

Good work! I noticed the numbers slowly decreasing, and i knew it was time to do something. Your addon did exactly what i wanted it to do

[mattballew]

After installing this, i noticed that it prevented my QuickReply to work, Saying: The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 2 characters.

I ended up removing the code. Does anyone know a good workaround for this?

[final kaoss]

This I believe is due to adblock being able to find the #div identifier. So if that were removed, then it should be harder to block.
And yes this works with vbulletin 4. Just throw it in the headinclude template.
