Recently i noticed when i get a new reply notification in my inbox, when i click the link, it just leads me to the top of the page with the new reply instead of scrolling to the first unread reply as it used to. Is something wrong on my side, or has something changed with the forum software?
(I dont always get new reply notifications, pls send a pm when you think it has happened)

The more you believe in Bitcoin, and the more you show you do to other people, the faster the real value will soar!

It's a bug in EasyList for Adblock Plus. All links (including "anchor" links) are blocked when immediately inside of a post <td>:
Code:
bitcointalk.org##td[style="padding: 1px 1px 0 1px;"] > a

Complain to EasyList.

It's impossible for an Adblock Plus filter to block all of the forum's ads. Some ads can be individually blocked, but not all forum ads in general. They should stop trying or they're going to keep breaking things for their users.

From this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=398729.00), I don't blame you for not seeing it since the thread is incorrectly named, it's called a watchlist problem when it has nothing to do with the watchlist.

Hm, i see.

Why would it be hard to allow links that point to the page that is currently open?





edit: btw, i would like to leave noted that i'm not against ads; i just block everything 'cause of the prevalence of spying, or otherwise "active", ads. IMO ads should've never have stopped being things just to familiarize people with brands and products; if they weren't trying to snoop on what i see and where i go, i would be seeing way more ads than i currently do.

AdBlock Plus filters are limited to the language of CSS selectors, which aren't powerful enough to do that. I've arranged things so that it's impossible to isolate the forum ad area using CSS selectors without also grabbing useful content as well. This is the second time that EasyList maintainers carelessly tried to block forum ads without checking whether it can be done safely...

On your Adblock Plus icon, select the option "Open Blockable Items".



This adblock rule breaks post number anchors, like this one that should send you to down the page to post #15: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=398729.msg4332520#msg4332520

I had the problem and ran across this topic.
I would never suspect AdBlock.
Simple solution : add bitcointalk.org to Adblock's whitelist.
