Should have mentioned this... Firefox 2.0.0.7 on Windows XP using ABP 0.7.5.3+.2007092710

This is another bunch of idiots blocking access to their site ignoring the right to block advertisements. Not to mention the evil IE-looking toolbar that pops up at the top of the page.

You can get around it by adding these filters:
All you really need is the first one, the rest just clean up the mess they make of their own site.

Instead of adding additional Adblock filters, you can just use NoScript. I'm not redirected to the Adblocking message page. Just an idea: sometimes a combination of two extensions is more effective than trying to do it all with just one.

That was Danny's first try. I took that down. Now I've got to put it up again?

Rick, better fix ".adbrite." filter - there must be some more to add to this string. Make it more specific.

Fixed
(there is more than one string at work here)

A HUGE thank you for this one... Not only did you zap the ads, but you got rid of that annoying banner and terrible format mess! Thanks a ton!

Aw Jamie ... how nice of you.
You tidied up the site for him too. Whatta nice guy

This was Danny's first public script a while ago on another site (and the rest is history . I had that whitelist up and took it down because no one used it because it was easily defeated. Now it's back up again.
