PH2_Blue broke for no reason.

A while ago I was using ad blocks for FF to help my slow internet connection ... but page load was slower due cpu usage then loading ads. Decided to get rid of it all together :D.

Thanks for replying.

Guess, open header.html of
themes/hp2_blue/templates/header.html

and find:
style="border: 1px solid #000000;"

and replace with
class="table_border"

then open:
themes/hp2_blue/style/style.css

and add:
.table_border {border: 1px solid #000000;}

And test.

Also, Easy list is enough for blocking ads.

that got it, however one part still doesn't appear, the News area.

I used an app called "windows Grep" to search all files in ph2_blue for style="border: 1px solid #000000;"
but it only found it in the header.
any other ideas what I would be looking for to get News to appear also? (Yes, i know absolutley nothing about PHP HTML CSS and all that, most of the time i guess my way thru, or use evil apps like FrontPage to make HTML code) as the news on the front page seems to be the only part not working now.

Thanks to greenday2k I managed to find everything and get it all running.
(turns out the line wasn't in the same order in the news file, and that's why grep couldn't find it)

Either way, for anyone wanting to update the PH2_Blue theme ( and also PH2_Final ) on their site, so their site can still be visible by people that use ad blockers, here is some easy and simple instructions on how to adjust the code to get around the Rogue ad-blocking rule.

Code::

Open: \PH2_Blue\template\header.html

Find: <table style="border: 1px solid #000000;" align="center" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%">
(Should be around line 12)

Replace with: <table class="table_border" align="center" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%">

Save and Close.


Open: \PH2_New\template\news\index.html

Find: <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border: 1px solid #444444;">
(Should be around Line 20)

Replace with: <table class="news_table_border" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%">

Save and Close.


Open: \PH2_Blue\style\style.css

Find: 
/* --------------------------------------------------
                   CLASS DEFINITIONS
   -------------------------------------------------- */

Add After: 
.table_border { border: 1px solid #000000 }
.news_table_border { border: 1px solid #444444 }

Save and Close.

Clear the sites Cache and reload the page and it should look exactly the same as before, just now it wont be blocked by a Rogue ad filter.

Thanks again to greenday2k, for pointing me in the right direction to get this fixed!
