I had issues with a warning message that adblock is on (in red).

Everything is disabled and it still gives me the warning.

Tried all and non worked.

I use Linux Mint and FF latest version.

Are you on a corporate network? Maybe they block ads.

Or do you use Pi-hole on your network?

I've also started to see this recently. Firefox and Chrome on Windows and Linux. Even at work where we can't install add-ons/plugins on browsers. I can only assume it's a DNS thing or ISP thing - it's the only commanility I have in my case.

I use this site a few times a year and occasionally poke around the forums - I'd be more than happy to pay and not have this issue or see adds if it were an option.

Members who are in the collectors group are able to browse the website without ads. I think CPUShack is the most active member here with the admin ability to add you, when he reads this. That feature (ie telling you to unblock from your adblocker) is broken, but is intended to stop people from scraping the site. gshv, the site owner, might need to look into it if you are getting messages wrongly.

I've been harassing these pages for quite a while.

I still have the issue.
Edit: looks like it works without issues now...
I'll report back if does it again.

I was wondering, could it be that blocking google analytics or google related ads could cause the problem?
Google is everywhere.

Solved, the thing is caused by my tracking options in FF being set to "strict".

If set to standard, content loads properly and I don't get the adblock reminder.
