First off, not sure this is the right place. If not, can someone move it? or delete it and I'll recreate it.
I don't see any adverts when I go to Goblins or the forums. I don't mind not seeing adverts, but I do want to support THunt. I have adblock, but have disabled it for the domains with the comics and forums.
Can someone let me know if this is a site thing, or if there is some hidden adblock setting I have to change to actually get it to listen to my requests?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Ads not displaying
As far as I know there are no ads in the forum. About the site - it's probably an ad-blocker you have installed on your browser.

Re: Ads not displaying
I put the forum on the exception list just in case. I do have adblock installed, but I have disabled it for most webcomics. Hmmm... is the current advert using javascript at all? I do get a javascript error when I load the page.
For anyone who might know what it means, the error displayed is:
"ReferenceError: OA_show is not defined [http://www.comblinscomic.org/ad3.html:17]"
I'm beginning to consider whether the irritation of trying to get an exception in adblock outweighs the obnoxious ads (on other sites, I've never had any complaints about here )
Edit:
Ah-hah! it is not Adblock that is the issue, rather it is Ghostery blocking an advert-related tracker, thus preventing any adverts from showing up at all. I white-listed Goblins on that extension, and all the ads are back If it is possible, let other people know about this. Or possibly add a function that recognises if a tracker-blocker is enabled and posts non-tracking adverts.
Anyway, problem solved for me
