  3. Our gif only content threads have a rule where all thumbs must be posted as a static thumbnail that does not play. Currently imagebam made a change where they no longer produce static thumbs. Therefore, please do not use imagebam, or any host, that provides live playing gifs in those specific threads. If you see your gif playing once you post, try to use a smaller thumbnail and if that does not work use a different approved host.

    You don't need to switch browsers, it isn't Firefox. And, if you try to block ads on Chrome, you'll likely end up facing the same issue. The problem is that Phun was put on a block list ("EasyList") that the ad blocking extensions tend to use by default. It blocks all JavaScript originating from Phun which includes the JavaScript for the "thanks" feature. When that JS can't run, the thanks feature falls back to doing a full page reload instead of sending your "thanks" in the background without refreshing the page.

    So, your options are

    1. Disable the filter or add a filter exception in your AdBlock settings
    2. Disable Adblock on Phun
    3. Use a different blocking list that Phun isn't on
    I'd go for number one. Assuming you are using AdBlockPlus, right click on the AdBlockPlus icon and select "open blockable items". Look at the "Filter" column and find the one that says

    Code:
    ||phun.org/*.js|
    Right click that and then "disable filter". That will allow all JS from Phun.org again and the thanks button will work. But, it might also allow ads from time to time (most ads will be served from other domains, not phun).

    You can do it a little differently to further restrict the JS that loads so it should only be the stuff that vBulletin needs. Instead of unblocking Phun, create a custom filter exception. Right click on the ABP icon, select "filter preferences" and go to the "custom filters" preferences tab. Click "add filter" and use this:

    Code:
    @@||phun.org/clientscript/*.js
    Note the @@ at the beginning. That means that you are allowing that pattern rather than blocking it.
