Out of the blue I'm getting a popup message from Adblock Plus. 

It says:

Hide targeted messages?

This site has been known to to show targeted messages to Adblock Plus users.  Do you want Adblock Plus to hide targeted messages?

Yes

No

What kind of subliminal messages is TB using to brainwash us with? 

Could it be that he's really an ardent Brexiteer?   

[Mister Rog]

I'm actually getting pretty pissed off with the constant barrage of messages doing anything whatsoever on the internet.

Update this or that, acknowledge this or that, allow cookies this or that, security message this or that, allow access this or that . . . . . blah blah

I am seriously considering retreating into a hole and staying there. My life would be much more simple

[Sir Tigger KC]

We'd miss you Rog! 

[Mister Rog]

We'd miss you Rog! 

Like when toothache stops

The cookie thing is a legal requirement, to appease the do-gooders.

No ads on OOF. The day we have to implement such a step will be my last day here

[Sir Tigger KC]

It's started on other sites as well so I'll withdraw my accusation TB. 

So what to do?

Click on yes or no.

Download something else to stop the pop up.

or

Uninstall Adblock as the pop up is more annoying than the adverts! 

[TheBoy]

If it happens on oof, then its lying.

Scan machine for nasties, then uninstall/reinstall adblock.

I f**king hate computers, with a vengeance.

I f**king hate computers, with a vengeance.

The ones I've hated have been the most pleasurable, back in the days when Sammy was still around

[STEMO]

You should just switch it on, do your stuff and switch it off again. No fickin chance.

[Sir Tigger KC]

Cracked it! 

So for anyone else suffering from this oppsing annoying popup from Adblock Plus.....

Click on Adblock icon at top right of screen.

Click on options in the little box that opens.

This opens a new tab and in the filter lists tab delete the warning list.

Job done! 

Thanks for all your help!     

[TheBoy]

but oof has never carried ads, so shouldn't be on any list.

[Sir Tigger KC]

No, so why it was popping up I don't know. 

Happened on both my laptops as well. 

[Mister Rog]

Stopped using Adblock a few months ago I got so p****d off with it.

Now using Privacy Badger, no complaints at all

[aaronjb]

Could be AdBlock picking up the fact that images are hosted elsewhere like (in the case of this page) photobucket and 'jurko.net', perhaps?

Anyway - another vote for Privacy Badger, here.
