(Camino Graveyard :: Page Layout, defect)

Description

[media girl]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050718 Camino/0.9a2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050718 Camino/0.9a2

On the specific page you can see an example. In the top right corner, there
should be a Blogads display loaded by javascript. There is no display at all, as
if javascript were disabled.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. load page
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
No visibility of javascript-loaded content

Expected Results:  
Execute javascript, which would load the Blogads. (I checked with other
browsers, and the ads are loading properly, so it's not a server issue.)

Default "clean" installation.

I know you said "default 'clean' installation", but can you check in your
preferences to see if "Block web advertising" is checked in the web features
preference panel?

Also, if it's not, have you ever checked it on any version of Camino? Try
looking for your userContent.css file (in ~/Library/Application Support/Camino/)
and either removing (if you don't mind losing it) or renaming it (if you want to
keep it). Be sure to restart Camino and see if the ads have re-appeared.

Now I really feel stupid. It was the ad blocker setting (which I did not think
to look for, as it's not on my Firefox). Ack!!! Sorry!

Reopening to dupe to our "ad blocking causes problems" bug...
