Has PPRuNe adopted new software that circumvents ad-blockers?

My browser (Opera) has an inbuilt ad-blocker that, until today, prevented ads from appearing (in JetBlast), but, suddenly, there are now adverts . . .

I can be more specific - the 'change' occurred between 2pm and 3pm GMT.

No ads here. Apple's Safari using AdBlock and Glimmerblocker.

No ads here. Ghostery on Firefox.

Although my inbuilt ad-blocker in Opera is set to 'on', I have discovered that when I loaded PPRuNe the 'switch' changed to 'off'.

Having clicked the shield to 'on' my ad-free PPRuNe browsing has returned.

I don't know what might have initiated the change - certainly not a conscious action by me.

Now I still have to work out why the inbuilt spell-checker doesn't work.
