I think I solved the avatar problem in Firefox

[liberaltrucker]

I turned off uBlock, there it was. YMMV

1. You might try whitelisting 'upload.democraticunderground.com' in uBlock...

... to see if that allows you to see your avatar and keep uBlock on.

3. I'll give that a try

Thanks!

2. Try Adguard

It's much better than ublock.

6. Thanks. Downloaded it

No sooner that I removed the Unblock and I started seeing annoying ads. So am hoping that the Adguard will help.

8. No longer works. Seems that after a trial I have to purchase it..

Any idea of the cost?

Thanks

9. I'm sorry, I should have been more clear.

You need to Install the browser extension (No Cost)

Click on the Icon for the browser you use and Install.



Or use one of these links

Chrome

Hope this was the correct action. All were already Xed except the last one which had a green check mark..

Yes, I do see the green icon on the page that I am using. With the unBlock it used to be on the screen of the computer.

Thanks, again.

11. No dice. Again expired. Tried to reinstall with your link and am still getting the message that it

expired.

When I am trying to activate I have to log into my account...

[ItsjustMe]

12. I don't understand why

Your browser extension has expired, It has never expired for me.
I've been using Adguard for several years with no Issues.

What browser and OS are you using?

[question everything]

13. Firfefox 91.0.1 though I have been getting messages to get the new one

It appears that no sooner that I install the new one, a new version comes out, again.

And it behave slightly differently.

Mac is 10.13.6

I may have to switch to Safari. There have been differences.

14. Try removing the adguard extension from Firefox

Then update the browser and reinstall the extension.

If that does not work try installing a Chromium based browser.

15. Was not easy to remove because it was open

but somehow I did. What was strange is on the installing page there were images of VISA and MC. I don't remember seeing them before. And it came with VPN which I cannot disable.

I give up. I think I will try Safari.

Thanks for keeping up with me.

[question everything]

4. You know, I don't even know how to turn it off

Could not find in in the Application. It is on the top corner of the screen and right now is "telling" me that it blocked 15 on this page.

[liberaltrucker]

5. In the app. you should see a blue semicircle

click on it and it should turn white, then reload the page. Good Luck!

[question everything]

7. A belated thank you. It was on the top of the screen. I right clicked on it and gave me the option

to remove and immediately started seeing ads on other sites. So I follow the suggestion, above of AdGuard and so far so good.
