Now the theme selector here in the forums is gone for me!!! :broken:, :cry:

Ad-blockers get less features :p White-list neowin.net and enjoy Spy, theme selector, and some love on top of that.

Or just temporarily disable it, change your theme, and re-enable it.

So much for their 'brilliant'(and very childish i might add) attempt to turn off people from using adblockers. :rolleyes:

Indeed. Besides I change the theme and leave it as is, if they want to block board features from people who dont like adds thats not a problem. Just dont cry about it.

So banning users that block adds? I can see those monthly figures rising with new accounts created

I bet they gain more subscribers, me I'm just waiting for my paycheck to subscribe, and have had the site whitelisted for a while now

However true that may be, It's still not the right way to go about getting subscribers and I'm sure alot of people would stop coming here if that is the case.

Giving the developers and runners of Neowin the benefit of the doubt, building and designing a site is a hard job let alone having to factor in the many different ad blockers.

It might not be on purpose and no one has said for sure that is the actual case any way.

I can assure you they have set it up so that people with adBlockers enabled will not be able to see the Theme changer and Spy options on the forums. if you know what to look for you can see it for yourself, I would post it but that would show others how to get around it.

They are SO childish because they need money to stay alive, makes sense.

^ Hmm, maybe we should put something in that logs when its not loaded and report the user id back to us. So we can instant ban those users?

Really? To be honest if the site would decide to do something like that (I do have it white listed but I love adblock+) I would stop coming to the site altogether (or maybe remove my white list entry to get banned on purpose.

Was thinking the same but I would hold no I'll feelings if they decided to do that. Neowin has come a long way since its humble beginnings.

You're completely missing the point. The childish part comes from how they're essentially throwing a little fit and lashing out on users cause they're not using their site EXACTLY how they want them to.

'waaahhh, it's not going my way. let's do something against the users!'

How about putting the ad discussion to rest and getting back on topic ?

I also would like to see darkside theme finally arrive! looking forward to it. (Y)

Any word on an ETA? ;)
