Forum blocked by ads

Post by uranus »

My copy of iron shipped with an empty adblock.ini and when I come to the forum Iron is redirected to some crappy ad junk site that I would never visit in a million years and there's no way to get back to the forum because the crappy ad junk always redirects.
Fortunately I discovered how to find a list to paste into adblock.ini but this is absolutely counter intuitive for new users. Maybe some funds could be redirected towards getting a real forum without the crappy junk ads acting almost like malware hijackers.

Put this information on the empty .txt.
I don't use the built in .txt, rather Adblock, so I don't know what it would do.

I suggest Ghostery to everyone. :)

Thanks for the tip megaman but the forum is inaccessible using a fresh Iron out of the box due to the ads redirecting away from the forum.
This reminds me of:

What is the problem with the ads that precede access to the Chrome forums? That is an extremely irritating thing to deal with. Is the money that tight at SR Ware? The only 'help' is a pump for Ghostry? Forget about it.
