The image boards that have ads up before the actual picture are messed up. For some reason i cant click "skip ad" anymore. The mouse turns into a hand-pointer but does nothing when i click. I need some help, here, anon... i cant even browse /b/ like this.

You have been up for 18 hours. Give you and your penis a break and go to sleep.

Wait, what? I leave my comp on overnight because of Folding@Home. Does that really matter? Why would the servers recognize which IP has been on for so long?

Opera started doing this - so I just wrote a user.js to nueter the ad function.
if (location.href.match(/src.cgi/) {
location.href=location.href.replace(/src.cgi/,'src');
}
Makes quick work of the ad pages not working properly - by removing them.

Oops, forgot to mention - I wouldn't be blocking them if they WORKED and didn't appear for EVERY link.

So how do you apply this javascript? Thank you in advance, btw.

First, you use Opera.
Put that javascript into a file (I called mine 4chan.js) in it's own directory.
Right click on a empty section of the page that's broken (the page with the ad showing that doesn't work) and choose 'edit site preferences'.
Under the 'scripting' tag is a empty box labelled 'user javascript files' - hit choose and point it at the directory containing your javascript.
Hit ok, refresh the page, from that point on the javascript will run BEFORE the page content does.
You SHOULD be able to use that script in Firefox via seamonkey, in IE via Trixie - but I've not much experience with actually setting those up.
Again, let me stress this is just meant as a stopgap until they fix it - NOT to block the advertising or support. I donate when they have the donation drives and didn't mind the ads when they worked PROPERLY since they appeared once per session and that was it. The only reason I came up with this drastic an answer is that they Now appear every time you click on a link and don't let you continue (without manually editing the URL each time).
