Does anyone ever check the NRA thread? I know there are a few of us waiting for our NRA icon.

Anyone else having a problem with the "green arrow"? When I click on it instead of going to the last unread post it will go to the last post. Then I have to scroll up to find the last post I actually read. I know, first world problem but it is becoming annoying.

Is there someplace that we can see all of the available icons?

I always hear about them long after they've been implemented, and I'd like to sport my flair as soon as possible.

Doesn't seem likely the "Powers That Be" are doing so. Submitted my icon upgrade request email twice over the last couple months. Have heard nothing so far.

Did something change with whole Avant link thing the site auto-injects into some vendor links posted here. Now it just hangs at the Avant URL and doesn't load or take me to the actual site linked to.

I'm seeing others report the same issue.

Adblocker, pihole, etc? Avantlink will be blocked on a lot of them. Have to add an exception or whitelist.

I have a system wide ad blocker on my phone (which is how I do 100% of my surfing here). But it never used to be a problem. Nothing has changed on my end, and with other people reporting the same issue starting around the same time, I was assuming it was a change on the site's end. I can't whitelist websites, AFAIK, since it's a system wide ad blocker. I can only whitelist whole apps, and I don't want to whitelist my browser app. Because then no ads will be blocked on any websites.

Seems like either a commonly used blocklist got updated to include avantlink or like you said a site change to how it's handled. I've always had to whitelist avantlink for it to work but if it was previously working for you I'd lean towards site change. Hopefully Goatboy can clarify.

Out of curiosity which adblocker is it?

Disconnect Pro on my Note 8.

It's technically just a tracker blocker, but it blocks most ads, too.
