I have a number of web browser plugins installed in my browser (Chrome) in order to both reduce lag and make the internet smoother to browse. Among these are Adblock and uBlock Origin (the combination work best as having both filters out practically all anti-adblocker notices). Today I loaded this site and the header was completely missing. I turned off both, each individually, and it made no difference, but when I turned off both the header loaded.
The site still loads fine on my phone (a first generation iPhone SE) which also has an adblocker installed, so I want to ask if this site had implemented any additional code in the last day or so to deter adblockers?

I had AdBlock and the header disappeared for me but then when I clicked on this thread, it reappeared? Must be an unintentional glitch/bug

I know that this site did try to deter adblockers several years ago by displaying quite a brash notice taking up about 1/3 of my own screen telling users to turn their adblocker off, but I looked around the internet and very quickly found the code for an easy workaround.

It only disappears for me on the Main pages, not in individual threads.

Since when, may I ask? I've never had this problem until about a day ago (on my PC) and still don't on my phone, which also has an adblocker installed on it.

Do you think this has been done intentionally?

The main page and profile pages still use the ST1 layout. The header disappears on ST1 but not on ST2. It reappears if I disable my adblocker.
just a side thing, I wouldn't mind disabling my adblocker if they got rid of the ads that appear in between thread replies. That's annoying, everything else is fine

If you turn off the extension then re-enable it that should resolve the issue (via extension manager not just turning off for tsr then back on). Your adblock needs to be pulling from the latest filter lists as I had exclusions added to resolve this yesterday.
There's an existing topic here https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/sho....php?t=6597650
I'd merge but on mobile. So expect it later.

Morning!
I have an update from our tech team that this issue should now be resolved in most ad blockers. It looks to have been an update in the EasyList ad blocking list. If you're still experiencing this issue, please add https://easylist.to/easylist/easylist.txt to the custom filter list on your adblocker (eg. Adguard).
If you've got any further questions on this QA1 should be able to help!
Cheers

It's fine now. Was some kind of change made or something that caused that, either here or in the adblocker filters?
