Site issue using Safari + WIPR
I've been in contact with BillyD (Administrator) via PM and he suggested that I post my issue here. I have a very strange problem viewing this site that wasn't there late last year. I haven't been on the site for a couple of months.
I'm using a Mac running macOS Catalina 10.15.2. Safari browser 13.0.4. I'm also using a paid-for ad-blocker called WIPR. I noticed in the last couple of days, when I tried to change my password on here, that I am able to see the forum index page and can go into each forum section to see the list of threads in that section. However, when I try to access any thread to see the posts in that thread, the content is displayed for a tiny fraction of a section and then blanked out so I get a blank, white web page.
It's as if the content is being soft-blocked due to the ad-blocker that I'm using (WIPR). I cannot whitelist this site in WIPR as whitelisting is not supported in WIPR. I can use the Firefox web browser on my Mac with no ad-blocker and I'm able to read posts within threads perfectly fine. So it does point to the use of the WIPR ad-blocker in Safari that is the issue.
Firstly, has anyone seen this issue before? As I cannot whitelist the site when I use Safari, I'm happy to pay for membership. However, I'd like to be sure that I'd be able to view the posts in threads whilst still using Safari + WIPR. Currently, I have to use Firefox with no ad-blocker to read posts on this site, but my primary browser is Safari and I only use Firefox as a backup, emergency browser.
