A suggestion for the forum... Fix the non-working Adblock detector!

I have AdBlocker Ultimate running in Firefox. The forum kicked up when I tried to post without realising it did not like that. So I immediately set up an exclusion telling Adblock not to interfere with this forum site. However, I am still being badgered to remove Adblocking every time I navigate around the site. This is to the point where I have had to rewrite a post a couple of times because it is lost when the complaining message is posted. That may be fine for a one liner but when you spend time trying to be clear and comprehensive with information it is a real butt pain!

It is far too much to expect us to remove our Adblocking software completely considering the amount of invasive rubbish which is thrust at us by some sites. Is it too much to expect that yours should be capable of reliably recognising that we have made an exception to allow it to show ads?
 
As a measure of how daft this is, to access this thread to check what I posted I have had to click the [I have adblockers disabled] button 10 times one after the other before I got here! Usually it is 2 or 3. Each time the popup box reappears.

As an ex-software writer I would have thought that if the detection is actually consistently getting this wrong there would be no access allowed at all. Otherwise the site would spot that ads were still able to be downloaded and apply no blockage, I'm actually looking at them now so they are coming through. Is it really 10 mistaken assessments before it eventually gets it right?
