I estimate at least a third of my users use “ad-block” software for their browsers… some have noted they specifically white-list my forum but obviously the vast majority of users who do use it never will.

Over the years I found some JavaScript code that can detect the ad-block software (so long as they don’t couple it with script-blocking too.) If you visit my site as an unregistered/not-logged-in user and attempt to view a thread you will get a pop-up alert box saying ad-block has been detected and please turn it off… however I wouldn’t dare do this to registered users.

Just curious how other people deal with ad-block, if it all.
