How to fix the new forum changes

thegrandnagus1

If you don't like the new forum changes with the ARC overlay and redirect, here is a simple way to fix it:

1) get the "adblock" extension for your browser.

2) once installed, add this custom filter:

http://forum.arcgames.com/championsonline/themes/Arc/js/*

3) then, use this link for your bookmark to this board:

http://forum.arcgames.com/championsonline/categories/champions-online-discussion

Once you have done all of that, you will have no more arc overlay and the page cannot redirect you to the forum root.

Yay! Thanks. That redirect is a hot mess.

Thanks for this. I don't understand why they keep changing things and forcing us to use less-functional forums.

Over on the STO forums Trendy said it had something to do with security, and she was looking into it, but oh well:

God Bless you, all those Redirects and Dead Bookmarks drove me insane! ​​

currently, what it's started doing with me.
Before yesterday, yes only 2 days. I would just exit the browser while logged into forums (but not ARC) and when I come back tot he page , I'm still in the forums(but not ARC).
Now when I go to the page , I get " Do you want to leave this page" several times, while going to the page.​​

Same problem here, Chaelk.

"Do you want to leave this page" is rapidly becoming one of my most hated phrases.​​
