Button missing?

[Fed]

I've noticed the 'subscribe' button missing in threads, any ideas?

 

[jbcurt00]

What topics?

If you mean a general forum, like Engine/motors, no, there isnt a subscribe option for the forum catagories, just topics.

This topic has a subscribe button on my end, does this 1 on your end?

This button, Fed? You don't see it?

 

[Fed]

I don't get it.

 

[Fed]

I should add that I'm subscribed to a lot of threads maybe 100? Poor housekeeping on my part.

 

[jbcurt00]

Try zooming the screen OUT hit control and the minus key at the same time

 

[Fed]

Zooming makes no difference.

 

[GA_Boater]

It looks like your aren't signed in, but then you couldn't post.

What machine and browser are you using?

Gonna call for help on this one, Fed. toneeees

 

[fhhuber]

Maybe scroll to the top of the thread...

 

[Fed]

Found the culprit, ... Adblock Plus.

Looks like I'll have to whitelist iboats or something.

 

[GA_Boater]

That's interesting. I use ABP and other than no ads, I see no difference in the forum display. What did Alice say? "most curious"

What browser, Fed?

 

[Fed]

I'm using chrome GA with ABP set on the installed defaults.

I tried it a few of times, with ABP off the subscribe button is there and with ABP on the subscribe button disappears.

 

[MTboatguy]

Yup, AB will knock out the subscribe button if you accept the default install, you have to white list buttons and such sometimes.

 

[GA_Boater]

I didn't know Chrome and ABP acted differently. My freshly loaded default Chrome extension with the Subscribe button. Is there an undated ABP for Chrome?

 

[Fed]

There's a manual update button for ABP but it makes no difference, I guess you already found that one.
My ABP is only a week old, just giving it a try out to see if I like it.

 

[GA_Boater]

Is your Chrome up to date. Fed? Click the 3 bars in the upper right corner and if it's up to date, you won't see Update Google Chrome in the list.

I seldom use Chrome, so I added the Chrome ABP extension yesterday just before posting the last pic.

 

[Fed]

Update wasn't in the list but I went to help>about google chrome and did a manual update, still no subscribe button.

Google chrome is discontinuing support for XP soon anyway so I could be back on Firefox soon.
I only changed from Firefox to Chrome because I found Chrome to be noticeably faster and at the time casting from Chrome to Chromecast was easy.

Another thing I noticed is the number of adds blocked on this page, my ABP blocks 11 and from what I can see your ABP blocks 2 or 20 something.

 

[GA_Boater]

Chromecast is the only time I use Chrome.

If I go to another forum page, the 2 fades and when the page finishes loading, the 2 comes back. Clicking on the ABP logo shows 2 blocks for any iboats forum page and and increasing total under the 2.

I wonder what why the big difference between 2 and 11.

Lets try this - Disable ABP for this page only and refresh to see what 11 ads you have. I;ll do the same here.

 

[Fed]

I started this time with 10 ads being blocked then I disabled ABP and then refreshed.
From what I can see I got approx 5 extra ads plus the subscribe button.
