ahungry eqauction alternative?
 
Any alternative to using the ahungry eqauction site? Like a site that just rips off the data from that site that doesn't require ad blockers to be disabled? Idk how long that site has required ad blockers to be disabled but since I recently just got one installed now that site won't work.

It works just fine for me if I exempt the domain from adblocker. Do that.

God forbid the developer want to get a little revenue in exchange for his time.

Yes, it's called the wiki. I'm serious: it has a price reporting feature where you can upload logs and then see average prices on items based on what people uploaded.

That's what we all had to use before ahungry was created. Try it and I'm sure you'll soon find that ahungry, with or without ads, is much better.

This. More self entitlement from the P99 community...be grateful it's there and use it, or build your own "better" version ;)

I find it more accurate than the wiki, especially for keeping ahead of the EC fat cats and their tourist prices.

Use NoScript to disable the anti-adblock.

Or just... you know...

turn off your adblocker.

Honestly, i use adblock to stop the awful intrusive ads. ie, massive car commercials opening up over an entire page to tell me to play an awesome web game.

A little banner on a small site doesn't bother me too much, as long as it doesn't interfere with functionality it isn't a big deal to whitelist em. But as far as big corporate sites, fuck em, never getting whitelisted.

"Disable on this page only"

Problem solved.

Though, ahungry did look a lot better a week or two ago, not sure whats changed.

This works. Thank you.

The fact that the service was refused cause the dumb banner didn't load puts me in a position to fight back.

I wouldn't even be disabling adds if the flash plugin wasn't constantly stopping and freezing the browser.

I added the note regarding ads because I myself (as a long time Ad blocker/proxy user) forget to whitelist sites I intend to support as well.

Do any of the ads cause slow down/lock up problems?

I'm using vimprobable2 under GNU/Linux myself for browsing, which typically has more issues with flash than other browsers (especially on my slow Toughbook CF-29 laptop), but I haven't had any lock up issues with the ads.

Regarding the look of the site, I shuffled some site elements around a little bit (put the search bar at the top vs the right column).

Is it time for a redesign? :)

some work place connection now block ads automatically

not to argue with the 'just turn off adblock' geniuses in here
