Hi everyone,

Apologies for the scheduled 40 minute downtime today.

It was necessary to upgrade our core forum software.

This was a big'un with a lot of moving parts - so please use this thread to flag any probs.

In the immediate, your style choices (day vs night) will have likely changed. You can change this back in the footer link, or within your preferences;


Thanks to @mattw who helped massively by setting up a separate test site environment and being on hand to help prevent me breaking the whole thing.

I had to notate the post as images were disappearing.
 
Ublock Ad blocking and Ghostery are disabled for this site even though the log says it is not. Oddly enough this morning it said it was fine and no changes have been made my end since.
 

I turned this on this afternoon mate because @DualityNSNO snitched about the system not detecting Firefox;

View attachment 272907

It now will.
I have added an exception for this site to firefox and the site is trusted in Ghostery. Will have to have a look through anything else i have on firefox to see if i have missed anything. Never even heard of dns level block tbh so thanks for that @DualityNSNO :lol:

Look into AdGuard as a free/public option - I'm running pihole on my own system to stop these things, as some ads/popups aren't picked up by adblockers - for example if someone was to hypothetically (not that I would ever of course) illegally stream a match, those tons of popups? Blocked em, get nothing, quite easier.

I've whitelisted GOT though, to get on Danny's good side before the next ban :blush:

Ublock is one of the best around and i have added this site to its safe site list, ditto firefox enhanced protection and ditto ghostery so there is not much more i can do really as i am definitely not changing it just for one site. I have never installed a dns level adblock in my life and wouldn't even know how to. :lol:
