OK why would you want to have an Ad Blocker on a Browser.. to me that is infringement on my right to post what I feel is important on MY WEBSITE.. and should not be legal.. but that is just me..
I understand why, but part of the net being FREE is Ads being seen. IF They are blocked I will have to start charging for use of my site.. (Not fishin.com of course.. but there goes the revenue..)

Jim, here's my take on it.

I do believe you have the right to post whatever you want. I believe also, though, that I have the right to take advantage of any technology that allows me to customize my Internet experience as I choose, as long as it is done on my end and not yours.

The battle is as old as marketing itself. Advertisers want to get in your face, sometimes consumers want to be left alone. And the Internet is the ultimate democratic society - the best technology wins. There are plenty of ads that get through AdBlock. Flash ads, in particular.

I am working on a new sponsor that might make a serious contribution to the site and allow us to do more if we can get their ads working right.
Please check out the Fishin.com Page above.. Let me know if the 468 X 60 banner at the top of the page works for you and also the 300 X 250 ad next to Jim Durham's Signature at the end of the Lake Cumberland Report.
These are Java Script ads and I need to know if they work on your browser.
IF You do not see the ads.. let me know what browser you have.. and version.
You must have Java enabled..

Too bad you or Peter haven't figured out how to get links to be clickable in the forums. I'm usually too lazy to copy and paste to my address bar. Makes cruising your new offerings so much easier. Last explanation I read was it was a bug that vB was aware of. Surely the money that you paid for the software included some kind of support. I have been on several other vB forums and never have saw this problem, so somebody knows how to make it work. If I paid for some software I think I would want to get the full benefit of what I paid for.
But hey it's your forum and website do as you please. Seems to be a revenue loser to me, less page views = less advertiser views = less $.
And while I'm adding my constructive critisism the home page is in need of a serious cleaning and streamlining.

What version of Firefox, Peter? I'm using 2.0.0.3 (I think this is the latest/greatest, not sure), and right now it shows me a box about a Muskie 1/2 lb. off the world record, and asks if I want to know where it lives. Down lower is an ad for Chevy Silverado.

Looks like I was wrong, Peter states in the help thread that clickable links would make it too time consuming to moderate. Of course it makes it time consuming and aggravating for the members to navigate your site with the copy and paste stuff. I'm sure someone will slip in a link to a terrible website from time to time. But the ease and continuity of clickable links outpaces the negative aspects by about a billion miles. As always IMO
