No block page in Ad blocker?

scot1967 · 02-04-2010, 09:36 AM

If I click on the following link behind Untangle (the ad can be seen). I get a 403 message in my Browser (any browser). The links did not post here correctly. The reason for the blocck is /www/delivery/* But why no block page? I had to go searching all over to find the issue.

thats correct.

because browsers were displaying the "block message" inside frames on the page.

Is this a bug on my end, Untangle, the way the link is made or normal behavior I have live with?

<edit>I suspect normal behavior, just the way browser work no?</edit>

What the 403? It is normal behavior.

Ad Blocker doesn't have block pages, it just blocks advertising content. If the whole page is considered an advertisement, it blocks it.

Usually the content is just a small part of the page, and it would be weird to have block pages where the ads would have been.

<oh, I see dmorris already said this..>

Yep I think I understand now. It does make it a bit difficult to troubleshoot but I know where to look now.
