I just witnessed something new on MAL: White spaces between threads.

Screenshot:


Could it be a remnant of an ad that my adblock blocks?

Further below are different solutions listed to get rid of those ads and their remnants such as void spaces between threads (just as shown in the spoiler above). You either try each solution one by one or add them all at once and hope for the best. I can't tell how the different solutions will behave after being tossed together, though.
Simply add those rules to your adBlock's custom filters (options -> custom filters)

+1

There are plenty of other places to put ads on the page. As it currently stands these ads are really annoying and down the quality of the entire site.

There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

This is the most terrible change on MAL since I've been here. I'd rather have the times without [img] back than this ridiculous shit.
I probably regret this post by now.

No you wouldn't. Just get adblock with the element hider then it literally takes 1 minute to hide those things forever.

And from what I remember last time, this may not be Xinil adding ads. I don't know how exactly they work though.

Oh yes I fucking would. It's not my job to prevent MAL from being borderline unusable in the first place, and those custom rules aren't working for me anyway. I don't really care who adds them, it's ruining the forums and that's all I care about. It's the most obnoxious advertising I've ever encountered on a 'legitimate' site.

For some reason the MAL user ignore script I use blends out the white spaces between posts and instead tells me I can toggle posts from users I've ignored. But when I do it just shows me all the white spaces. This is getting weird.

Normal:

No, you need to put them on Adblock. Click on Adblock icon than fiter options > custom filters > add filter and than add the rules line by line.

Really guys, just get the element hider. It makes it so much easier to do on your own.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/elemhidehelper/

And if you click on one of the space and everything goes blank, fiddle with the Require attributes a little bit.

Why can't the people running the site just put the ads at the top. My PC is so old that I can't update chrome and It wont let me install ad block on such an old browser version...

Shouldn't have to, maybe, but I've got my browsing experience how I want it while you're whining in a thread. Which is better, hmmmm.
