We have info screens around Danmark where companies can buy local ads. This happend yesterday..

Today I found the reason for one of the stupidest bugs I had in like.. ever!

Me and a fellow student are currently porting the infoscreen of our university to HTML.
One of the functions of this screen is showing payed advertising and I was working on loading and displaying the images of our advertisment partners.

I had the whole system in place, and the images loaded.. but they wouldn't show. Upon inspection I saw they were displayed but with a size of 0x0 px.

I spend hours searching the web for javascript bugs, double checking my css file and everything you could imagine. I even asked my CS professor for help and he didn't find the cause for this strange issue I had.

..and then I saw it. A little note in Chromes inspector saying the image style would be set by my user-agent. Despite not trusting that information, I closely inspected my browser.

And then it dawned on me.. I would turn my adblocker off and lo and behold.. it worked!

I then, after celebrating my triumph, changed the tag of the img element from 'advert' to something else…

At my school. This "infoscreen" usually shows ads :P

I've previously shown you the infoscreen showing that it has no boot devices to boot up. Now I'm showing you an infoscreen that successfully booted up, but didn't autostart the program my school uses for infos. :/ EDIT: It was booted up, because you can see date and time, but something went wrong with the program

So that's why that infoscreen won't work!
