Adblock Plus going wonky

[Bas]

Well then, I made an exception for @@http://uploads.ungrounded.net/* and it fixed it. You might wanna put that in some sticky or some faq for help w/ newgrounds.

So, thanks for that. However, since flash 9 just came out, I still don't see the tabs that I can click to block individual things.

Your welcome, but ...
That site works just fine with AdblockPlus and my EasyList filterset without whitelisting the site. You need to tell the author of the filters that YOU are using about it. Whos filters are you using?

To see the SWF tab:
Adblock Plus options ..... check the "show tabs on flash and java" line.

I was using the filter */ads/* and that blocked it.

As for that tab click thing, I already DID click the show tabs. It doesn't.

I was using the filter */ads/* and that blocked it.

No, you probably weren't, because this would only match URLs
containing the exact string "/ads/" - only including the slashes.

I suspect your rule was

Code: Select all

/ads/

(without the enclosing *) - this would turn the rule into a regular
expression according to ABPs syntax, thereby matching anything
containing "ads".

Regular expressions are powerful, but one has to be careful when
using them.
