I feel like renaming the board would be easier for everyone, I've seen plenty of these threads pop up throughout the years.
Server list? Online Servers Board? idkWhat can we change it to since it's for advertisement that isn't a paid-for "advertisement"?
Because we can't change it to X since no one will know what it is.
This has been up before I guess the adblockers had an update and that made it worse ..
But to make it quick and simpel, just add an exception for otland (note that there are no ads on OTLand).

Are you serious? xDAnd what do we do with threads that contain words that they trigger on?
Because it could still be a problem if a thread has advertisement in the title or in a post.
Really nothing we can do, it's up to the user to disable the blocker, I really don't see a problem with that since otland doesn't have any ads anyways.
I'm not against changing the board name (if thats all it takes, but I doubt it since it most likely will still trigger on words).
Are you serious? xD
We've mentioned ADVERTISEMENT many times in this topic and still people can talk here about Advertisement board which isnt working for them. Changing this name to just "Servers" or "Server List" is the easiest thing you can do.
Maybe this software is aware that Advertisement here is a whole board, part of forum, not its content. It would be stupid if any blocker will block sites with this word, you could spam somebody blog about dogs with this word and it would block it totally decreasing the traffic?Yes I have no ide what the filters actually look for etc, but if the problem is a word "advertisement" they should still block threads where ex the title has that in it.
Maybe they actually listend to the x threads about this where it says to just white list otland?
No one can say that this is a new issue ..
2014: New topico Advertising error (https://otland.net/threads/new-topico-advertising-error.226479/#post-2181007)
2016: Complaint - AdBlock blocks possibility to create new thread (https://otland.net/threads/adblock-blocks-possibility-to-create-new-thread.243310/)
The only diffrence is how they block it.

Its really not in terms of certificates and ease of use. Firefox decided to break their cert manager which pulls certs in last order and then depreciate the function that does it.. xDFirefox right now is top-notch. I wouldn't say that this issue is anyhow related to the browser itself, more like extension.
Let us know if it works better now. The name has been changed from "Advertisement" to "Server Gala".
Alright, but who came up with that name now? It wasn't even suggested by anyone, and the word "gala" is completely unfitting.Let us know if it works better now. The name has been changed from "Advertisement" to "Server Gala".
