Change ad_thread_first_post_content CSS

[pijasz]

I have similiar problem as described here:

https://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=303762

I am trying to get some code to show up when a user is using adblocker on my site.

The problem is that the vBulletin CSS for the template ad_thread_first_post_content keeps getting blocked by the adblock extension itself.

I am trying to rename the <div id="ad_thread_first_post_content"> to remove the word 'ad' (so that it does not get blocked by adblock) but when I rename that div ID and then make the changes to the css in vbulletin-chrome.css and in showthread.css (renaming all instances of #ad_thread_first_post_content in both files) and what ends up happening is that the entire template no longer loads on the showthread page.

Is there any correct way to rename this div and all the css references to it?

Thank you!

What should I do to change css class from "ad_thread_first_post_content" to for example "dd_thread_first_post_content"

This would involve custom coding, which we cannot provide support for.

You should also consider the moral and operational implications of circumventing ad blockers in that way.

Try adding this in additional css:

#ad_thread_first_post_content {
    display: block [COLOR=#FF0000]!important[/COLOR];
}

If the ad blocker is hiding that div and setting inline style to set display:none, the above CSS would override it because of the !important keyword.

What about the moral and operational implementations of circumventing ads with ad blockers? This is rarely discussed.

It's not really within the scope of official support to be honest.

Neither is "the moral and operational implications of circumventing ad blockers".
