up. Putlocker has been able to detect ad block and now gives a
longer waiting time to users who use it. Please figure out a way
around this. Love this product!</p></div>Jon Emchtag:old-support.getadblock.com,2013-08-06:Comment/287710922013-09-13T03:51:08Z2013-09-13T06:35:05ZPutlocker has found you<div><p>I haven't found where it gives a longer waiting time, but I did
find the following pieces of code when looking at a random
Putlocker URL.</p>
<p>First, in the main script element in the head...</p>
<pre>
<code>function Hello() {
if ($('.banner300').height() == 0)
alert("You are using Ad Block. Advertisements you see help pay for the storage and the bandwidth that free users consume. Please disable your Ad Block in order to stop seeing this message.");
}</code>
</pre>
<p>Next, about midway through the page source, well within the
body...</p>
<pre>
<code>if (document.getElementById("tester") != undefined)
{
// thanks for not using adblock
}
else
{
document.write('<div class="adb_notice" style="border: 1px solid red;padding: 7px;font-size: 16px;color: red;text-align: center;">We\'ve detected that you\'re using <strong>AdBlock</strong> or some other adblocking software. Your wait time has been increased. Please disable AdBlock for this website to avoid delays. <!-- end .content --></div>');
}</code>
</pre>
<p>Now looking back for that element labeled "tester" I see two
little script elements...</p>
<pre>
<code><script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.putlocker.com/js/advertisement.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
if (document.getElementById("tester") != undefined) {
var wait_count = 1;
var wait_count_ms = 1000;
} else {
var wait_count = 30;
var wait_count_ms = 30000;
}
</script></code>
</pre>
<p>Here, it appears as if users who don't block advertisement.js
wait a second, while those who do wait 900 seconds (15 minutes);
now even though my own content-blocking configuration is unusually
aggressive, I couldn't actually reproduce the issue for myself (my
aggressive popup-blocker, Better Popup Blocker, actually kept that
popup message in the first snippet from appearing).</p>
<p>I also found <code>adblock_test.php</code> in an iframe, and
here are the contents:<br></p>
<pre>
<code>$(WeGotAllDay);
</script>
<div class="banner300">.</div></code>
</pre>
<p><code>adblock_test.php?save</code> returns the following
content, only without the quotation marks: "thx" Also, that div
with class "banner300" appears on the main page.</p>
<p>Here are the contents of that <code>advertisement.js</code>
file, which my content-blocking setup does not block:<br>
<code>document.write('<div id="tester">an
advertisement</div>');</code></p>
<p>It is clear that the intention is to use a URL that is commonly
filtered (EasyList does have a generic filter for "/advertisement."
without quotes, which does match that file.) to create an HTML
element, then check for its existence with an inline script and
punish those who blocked it, classic Anti-Adblock tactics.</p>
<p>Maybe EasyList has by now worked around this somehow, because my
Fanboy+EasyList Ultimate list isn't blocking
<code>advertisement.js</code>; there's probably a whitelist for it
somewhere but I haven't seen it: <a href=

submitted successfully and yet didn't show up the first two times,
and the third time did show up and wasn't reflected in the reply
count.</p>
<p>My guesses had to do with script tags (or possibly any HTML
tags) and the use of document DOT anything, as attempts to avoid
XSS.</p></div>James Edward Lewis IItag:old-support.getadblock.com,2013-08-06:Comment/287710922013-09-15T17:28:51Z2013-09-15T17:28:51ZPutlocker has found you<div><p>Hi James Edward Lewis II,</p>
<p>I have test it and it is working fine for me now. Could you test
it too, if it is working on your side?</p>

installed that skips the wait for putlocker and sockshare. I use
the 1 found here<br>
<a href=
"https://userscripts.org/scripts/show/158247">https://userscripts.org/scripts/show/158247</a><br>
but I used to use the one found here<br>
<a href=
"https://userscripts.org/scripts/show/123490">https://userscripts.org/scripts/show/123490</a>.<br>
I switched because the other 1 worked with more sites that I used
instead of just putlocker and sockshare but they both worked when I
switched.</p></div>lee_terry_jrtag:old-support.getadblock.com,2013-08-06:Comment/287710922013-09-16T14:23:55Z2013-09-16T14:23:58ZPutlocker has found you<div><p>I added a chrome extension which tries to circumvent the
detection for a couple of sites (open for suggestions on that).
Just in case you are too lazy for a userscript ;)</p>
