  • Hope that title caught someone's attention. So, here's my problem, and maybe you can help out.


    I'm using the most recent version of Google Chrome on ALL default settings, I have tried reinstalling Chrome and even opening Aternos in a new incognito window, but for some reason, Aternos still thinks I am using an adblocker. I don't have an adblocker; I see ads on just about every other site I visit. This is starting to get really frustrating having to look at the obnoxious pink screen (it really hurts to look at) every time I click ANY button, despite not having an adblocker, antivirus, browser extension/setting or anything that could possibly be clocking ads. The only reason I've been willing to try and work with it today is because it seems this is the only server host that can do what I need it to do (free has nothing to do with it, I'd be willing to pay for a good server if I can find one).


    Anyway, that's my issue, I hope this can get resolved before I become another thread that'll only be stumbled on 2 years after I post it lol

    Thanks in advance!

  • Alright I went to the settings. But I found something interesting...

    "Why would that be the default?" was the first thing I thought, but I looked at the text below it, and it says it only blocks things that Google deems could be harmful to my computer.

    I pulled up YouTube to see what was going on there too, and it (like every other site) has the same settings. Intrusive or potentially harmful ads are blocked, but normal ads are not.



    Now that kinda scares me, is there a reason Aternos is the only site that has ads that my browser thinks could be potentially dangerous? Why should I allow all ads on the site when normal, non-intrusive ads would appear just fine and won't be blocked?

    But, in a suspension of disbelief, I decided sure, just for a second I'll change it and see if it helps at all.


    To my surprise, it didn't change anything. So... what now? I did try opening the page in a new tab, and again in a new window to make sure the changes did take effect. Unfortunately, this didn't stop the site from thinking I'm using an adblocker. Could there possibly be a problem with the site and Google Chrome?

    By the way, thank you Tomtaru for the suggestion.

    Nope, no matter what settings I have on, the ads just show up as the painful-to-look-at pink rectangles with a reminder to turn off my adblocker. Tried the same in incognito as well.

  • *shudders* Edge.

    I will try. On another note, before you replied just now, I did try clearing all history, cashe, cookies, everything related to aternos. I signed in again and still got the PSoD.

    I'll be back in 200 years to let you know how Edge worked out :sleeping:

  • Alright, I gave it a try!

    Had to, actually find where Edge was, but I got it up, waited for Bing to load, searched up aternos and pulled up the page.


    I logged in, everything seemed okay, and it brought me to the page just fine! Looks like it's work- AAaand after three seconds the pink overlay loaded over top of the page. I had hope, man. Damn Edge and your laggy loading times!


  • Alright, try getting a new computer!


    The only thing I can think of now is that tou might have java disabled in your browsers. Since you don't use Edge frequently I can't imagine it being turnd on there.

  • Aww but I just got this computer 4 months ago! Welp, better fork up another $400 ;(


    In all seriousness though if an admin or a mod could possibly maybe fix this (if it can be fixed) I'd greatly appreciate it, because I really want to use this host.

  • As an added measure, I went ahead and tried just allowing everything since I noticed there were other things (like the java) you mentioned that were blocked. I allowed everything that could possibly be allowed, and then cleared all cookies on the site.

    Ok, logging in again...
    Aaaaaaaand nothing.

    PsOD



    At this point I'm at a loss for words, like not even mad, just. Amazed lol

  • Alright so another update, I just downloaded Firefox. I figured "okay maybe theres some issue with Edge having communicated with Chrome?" So I downloaded something I have never ever once used in my life. Firefox.

    Logged in, and PsOD again! There's no freaking way!!

    So I got to thinking, and came to the conclusion that the next thing I can try is maybe a different account!


    Well, tried signing up and in with a google account, and it didn't change anything. But then again, this account was created the same way. So I had this like, massive revelation like "OH MAYBE ITS MY GOOGLE ACCOUNT because I've had adblocker once in the past!!"

    So I cleared all data again, signed up with an email from yahoo, and! ... PsOD. "My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined" as the meme goes.

    • Official Post

    You stated that you don't see the ads behind the popup, which means they are really blocked.

    The error codes shown in the popup confirm this.

    In your first post you tested it with incognito mode, therefore it's maybe not related to any extensions on your browser.


    Do you have any type of anti virus software installed? Which DNS-Servers do you use?

  • AYUDA TEMPORAL : PLEASE USE TRANSLATOR FOR THIS

    a mi me pasa lo mismo que a ti pero cuando recargo la pagina ase quita, y aparece hasta otro momento diferente pero ... puedo ayudarte a quitar esas cosas molestas manualmente, pero esto no es algo que se queda permanente, siempre tienes que estar haciendo y solo ayudara para que no te moleste la vista si tienes que quedarte viendo la misma página, ejemplo estar en la etiqueta de "consola"


    paso 1: ve al sitio y da clic derecho en el anuncio (cuadro rojo) y da clic derecho en inspeccionar


    paso 2: aparece un editor de la página, y en el seleccionado la imagen del anuncio ahora tienes que subir en el inspector, para encontrar el nombre "div" si borras la que dice "div" el cuadro del anuncio desaparecera



    paso 3: preciona la tecla "Eliminar" o "Del" en tu teclado, esto borrara el cuadro de anuncio hasta que recargues la página



    Repite con todos los demas anuncios


  • Having the same issue on my iPad.

    BGH at :aternos:

    I really found this platform, and was delighted to see it! I'm working on VibeCraft, a different server which is awaiting to come to like!

  • Hi, Roman thanks for the question. I have absolutely zero antivirus protection on my computer (though I should...) and I talked to the member of my household that manages our network. He says that there is no type of DNS protection that should be preventing the ads from showing up, but we do sometimes have issues when clicking on ad links in google searches. Could it be because you are using some sort of Google ad service (sorry if I'm incorrectly assuming youre a mod)?
