Complaint AdBlock blocks possibility to create new thread

[Gesior.pl]

Google Chrome 'AdBlock' [ https://getadblock.com/ ] plugin blocks requests to 'new thread' on 'advertisement' board.

Maybe you can contact them about that problem or add some information on Advertisement board.
When I click 'Create Thread' nothing happens.

This is a known problem, idk why it's doing that and I don't think any administrator on otland can do anything about that.

I use the same adblocker but never had any problem with the advertisement board. If you have problems with it, I suppose this works:

"advertising blocked by adblock" isn't that kinda the job of adblock ?Oo

Block popular forum URL that return 'text/html' as result isn't smartest action for adblocker.
Of course I know that I have to add otland to whitelist, but for normal computer users it's not obvious that forum works, but 'create new thread' does not work, because of AdBlocker.

Yea I know, but also create thread works for me.

I suppose AdBlocker is also searching for the word "advertisement" on the page and uses an algorithm to determine if the page does indeed contain advertisement, which is might why you're being blocked. You should just whitelist it or report it to the programmers of AdBlocker so they can add their own whitelist entry.
