You have to allow arboristsite itself

I got the no scripts thingy for Firefox working and seems to be doing the job, I havn't seen hide nor hair of linksbucks since. I must not have something set quite right though. Every time I get on AS I have to sign in each time, won't save it. Small price to pay I guess. Other than that every thing seems to be working good.


Gregg,

So yer saying allow arboristsite and block everything else or just allow arboristsite without blocking anything.

NoScript addon for Firefox

I have "NoScrpt" and never saw it.

I've had to go for days without AS and was troubled. I googled around and discovered the NoScript addon. At first, I could get to AS home page but I couldn't login. I could read but not post anything. A little while ago, I clicked on an image and got the login window to view images. I clicked the "remember me" button and finally was able to access my account and post something.

I have allowed arboristsite and blocked link bucks. Link bucks doesn't show up anymore but can't sign in to AS. Exact same thing as chockwood describes. This really sucks :-(

You have to allow arboristsite only. Do not allow linkbucks or any of its aliases.

Google leapis.com is OK also.

Doubleclick is a Google thing but it is a advertising gimmick that collects data on you. Stay away.

Google analytics is another one I don't allow

I allowed the arboristsite url as it is without the linkbucks add on. I then blocked the linkbucks url as it is without being an add on the the arboristsite url. I believe this should work. I try to log on but can't regardless of settings. The remember me box isn't under my login boxes which is odd cause it was yesterday.

There is another thread like this over in the support area and people over there were talking about this also.

I'm gonna have to try again tomorrow. Miss AS on PC. Tapatalk is ok but not the same.

IMHO they need to shut the site down and finally fix things the right way, or hire the right people.

I agree.
I would have hit the Like button for you but that option is also gone.

Later

open Firefox and type in the address bar "about:config"
Select "i won't hurt anything, promise"
search for Javascript enabled
right click it and select "toggle"
That makes that line turn from true to false and then close the browser
open the browser and go the AS as usual
It will disable Javascript on all the sites you visit.

I followed these instructions and the site works much better now. However, I noticed that when I tried to log in at the top of the page, I could not. I then clicked on 'reply with quote' and logged in from there and all seems normal.

I'm doing this via firefox with noscript addon installed.
I still can't sign in to AS from the AS main page. What I do is go to a forum and find a post with a pic. When I see a jpg file name highlighted in green as an attachment to a post, I click on that filename. I'll get redirected to a login window. The "remember me" button shows, and I check mark it. Then I login and access my account. If I couldn't do that, I couldn't have made this post. I don't have any "i" or "e" things, and I haven't a clue as to what tapatalk is. I'm an old fashioned stubborn dude in my 60's that don't hold to that wifi stuff. If it don't have a cord attached to it, I won't use it. I build my own computers out of parts I buy on ebay. I do the same with my chainsaws.

I use the "Reply with Quote" button - works the same way from any post...

The site is obviously compromised god only knows what the hacker is doing with our information.

 

[mainewoods]

Just installed No-script and it seems to work for me. No more linkbucks- so far.

 

[jughead500]

I'm getting linkbucks continually on my home PC.Same thing on my phone only I can't skip the ad.It has my phone completely blocked up.

 

[Joe Kidd]

I installed "noscript" on firefox, and only allowed arboristsite.com. I can't log in unless I click on "reply with quote". I can only log in from that field and it's finally working.
My avatar pic is missing but the system won't allow it to be uploaded. Guess the site is limping along.

 

[Big_Wood]

Another day on tapatalk :-( i'm gonna try the reply with quote login way when i get home from work. Hopefully it works i'm starting to get used to tapatalk and it is actually way more efficient then just accessing AS on your phone without it. Way faster and doesn't burn the phones battery up quick. Access from a PC is still the best though.

just a link for anyone who might want to consider ditching windows and running another operating system. Pick something from around the top five on the "rankings" list, right hand side of the page. Mint comes pre tweaked for a lot of functionality and has a good userbase and resources, etc. Price = free, these are all open source operating systems.
