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.

What utter nonsense. There are no ads of anyone there and anyone is welcome to verify it. Remove the crap from your head first.

Don't you just love snakes like that..... Trying to make a buck off your forum for free.

I have to add another thing. I have been using ABP for awhile now and have noticed it even blocks people images on there custom themes.

Nice going to forums and you cant even see there icons next to thread categories.

Surely a snake will be much more intelligent than you.

How to change info to other language ?

[emp1re]

When we activate it in VB4.20 PL3 the quick reply doesnt work..
It says we did not typed enough characters (message needs more than 1 character) .

Complete message not enough characters.

How can we resolve this ?

[Disasterpiece]

I just tested the demo site with noscript and adblock enabled, even after deactivating both, I could not get rid of the overlay. What may causing this and are you using the exact same code in your mod?

[Budget101]

Mod does not work with "Do Not Track Plus"

[Midohash]

Excellent and easy to install hack ... tested on chrome ... Installed ... Many thanks
