Why is AdBlock plus doing this?

[learninmypc]

Everyday I go to www.cbs.com to watch the previous evenings programming without commercials.
This past Monday (02/03/14) I went here http://www.cbs.com/shows/48_hours/video/eYvS7odIJbShePVgQDRJv3h_xhNd7yh9/the-country-club-murders/ and saw this

yet I go here http://www.cbsnews.com/news/poker-pro-suspected-in-double-murder/ & am listening to it as I type this.
Now I know some of you don't use an adblocker, but I prefer a cleaner looking website NOT cluttered with ads.
I get the same image as above with this link http://www.cbs.com/shows/big_bang_t...-big-bang-theory-the-locomotive-manipulation/
I've resorted to using FF portable with no adblocker just to watch the programs turning the volume down for the *****ic commercials.
Any ideas/help?

I get this too. It is business man. They arent going to just post a video from the previous day online and not have ads. They would make no money this way. You can probably add CBS.com to your allowed filter, this will allow ads on certain sites in which you specify.

 

[learninmypc]

Ok, I understand that, but up till this month, I've never had it happen at all.
I can watch 48 hours on the cbsnews.com site & no ads, its only started on cbs.com .
How would I add cbs.com to my allowed filter?

I found this https://adblockplus.org/en/acceptable-ads but it wasn't much help.

 

[Jad Chaar]

Just right click on the Adblock icon in the bar at the top of the screen and press "Allow ads on this page" or something like that. They probably just implemented it recently.

 

[learninmypc]

Doing as you suggest, I see this

Until I find an easier way, I've removed Adblock edge from my SeaMonkey so I can watch cbs.com online.

 

[Jad Chaar]

Press disable on "place site here". This would disable the extension on specified pages.

 

[learninmypc]

I have done that, but since then I've removed adblock edge on SeaMonkey only. Thank you.

OP is confused

it is not Add blocker plus that's giving you this message. It is the CBS website.

The number of websites doing this recently has increased ive had to watch the stupid adverts on a whole host of pages recently as if you don't, you are denied access. The days of blocking adds are numbered it seems.

I added an exception on the escapist recently as I like there content wanna support them. But they keep playing these not skippable adverts for things like yogurt, face cream, makeup that you cannot stop. Sometimes they just randomly start playing even when Im watching a video on there, so I have to pause the video im watching until its finished It really pisses me off and ive had to remove there exception and block the adds again

Thank you. I'll be forced to get used to the repetitive commercials.

F.W.I.W., I found a work around. Disable the adblocker on cbs.com & start the show. Once the show starts, re-enable it & the show plays without ads.

hmm - - yes and no - - cause and effect. The adblocker stops the browser from accessing the url with the ads, and when the code in the browser fails on that access, it responds with the notice shown.

 

[learninmypc]

Yes, after I posted that, I found it don't always work. It did for a bit. Oh well, back to the ads

 

[DelJo63]

There is a technique to block connections that usually avoids this symptom - - entries in the host file.

127.0.0.1  ad.a8.net
127.0.0.1  asy.a8ww.net
127.0.0.1  adserver.abv.bg
127.0.0.1  adv.abv.bg
127.0.0.1  bimg.abv.bg
127.0.0.1  ca.abv.bg

those ABV and adserver entries with an address as shown cause the browser to resolve the names but to get a 404 not found error. the area on the webpage that would have contained the ads will instead show the 404 not found condition.

See http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm for how-to
