How to turn off adblock for TL

I would rather pay a fixed amount each month like 1/3/5/10 bucks voluntarily, than watch effing disgusting, distracting poker/casino/whatever else imagery

Please introduce a donate button instead of playing with my feelings and displaying sad elephants

If you want to support TL, in addition to viewing ads as normal, you can buy stuff from the store. (link)

When you stare into the iCCup, the iCCup stares back.

Just a fyi to anyone, the disconnect.me chrome extension also blocks ads on TL.
Edit: Firefox has a "do not track" feature as well built into it that has to be enabled manually. I'll confirm that this doesn't block ads on TL.

I already bought some stuff from the store, and it's cool, and I'm happy I supported that way. But really, please consider a subscription option to TL.net, I'd be happy to pay instead of having something shoved down my throat. Probably more than you'd get from me watching those ads.

Did you ever do a poll too see how many people would like to see it that way? Rhetorical question, suggestion even.

For some reason some people say they don't have an Adblock icon under Chrome. To manually whitelist TeamLiquid for Adblock, you go to Options -> Extensions -> Adblock Options -> Manually edit your filters, click edit, and insert this line:

Show nested quote +

Best to use the icon to do it automatically though, it keeps a small typo from breaking your filter list.

It didn't work for me in Chrome, but thanks to you I finally did it :D Thanks for the advice!

TL is the only site I happily disable my abp for

...Nah, I'm kidding, I disabled it. <3 TL

oh, why didn't I think of that! I've blocked the elephant and I've got what I needed
I'll check in 6 month or so if anyone should come to the conclusion that a minimal effort like subscriptions is worthwhile
cheers!

Team liquid can make some thing that block the access to the site if add block is on.

Your elephant need not be tortured... however I shall not whitelist sites with: audible-, flashing-, or moving ads. Additionally I block ALL third party tracking, and block all google ads. Consider hosting your ads locally and using static images and I'll whitelist this site.

Otherwise your elephant will be dancing on the hot plate of AdBlock Lite (a fork of AdBlock Plus as Wladimir destroyed credibility of AdBlock Plus with "allow ads" by default. If he set the "feature" to DISABLED by default and prompted for informed user consent to manually enable he could begin restoring that credibility), and/or Karma Blocker

I get ads on streams, but occasionally I will see the streamer hit the "run add" button and I won't get one. I also see the Disneyland ad on my right as I type this, but I want to make sure I don't have ad blocker for TL and streams linked through TL. I'm using chrome and can't seem to find that red ad-blocker sign next to the wrench -__- here's screenshot:

Making sure ^_^

Since there seems to be a demand for supporting TL without watching adds, why not use flattr?

I've installed disconnect.me on firefox, it appears to be doing its job without blocking ads here.
So to everyone, firefox is probably a better choice over chrome considering googles privacy concerns lately.

I never blocked adds before, but lately twitch commercials................................ are annoying me to death!!

I usually watch streams muted while playing games myself or watch multiple streams while only listening to one. However, every time a commercial comes it overrides the muted sound and you'll still hear it. Its also impossible to mute if after..... so yeh good job twitch... i'll just block them from now on.

I want to whitelist TL, but if i do, it'll still run the commercials if i watch a stream through TL. Is there a way around this? Or should i just watch the streams directly on twitch and not through TL?

I'm done with russian brides, thai brides and all the other kinds of fucking brides that I'm supposed to have. AdBlock reluctantly enabled only because of this. Figured I'd let you guys know if it's something you'd consider changing.

Theres a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot.

I have no idea why you can't just ignore the ads. Nobody is forcing you to get married.
