Ad Blockers

I just discovered today that my AdBlock is blocking images on our domain/site.

So if you suddenly not seeing images here, check your AdBlock and don't block us!

Why would we be misidentified as an Ad? That sucks.

Which ad blocker/browser and which images? You can also whitelist the domain. I'm using AdBlock and it only shows 1 ad being blocked here, but I can't see to figure out what that ad is (probably a javascript or something).

If I had to guess, Shurijo, I'd say it is related with the shoutbox. I get constant errors from it.

It was images not hosted by us but links to google images now that i think of it. But white listing us worked. Which is what i did right away.

Ah, yeah, maybe someone's sig which is hosted off site could be getting blocked. I'd suggest everyone use IMGUR.com or another popular/safe(ish) image hosting site.
