So THAT'S what that guy was talking about whitelisting on my site. He is the creator of "gravitars" (avatar service) that were being blocked by my filters but he couldn't give me a proper address in the wild and just wanted me to whitelist 'gravitar.com'. I will not do that until I can see for myself. Notice that all the avatars are blocked with the string that Hubird mentions.

Anyway, I have now whitelisted it in the ABP Tracking Filter subscription. :arrow: :arrow: :arrow:

I had just finished reading the "gravitar" thread on your site but did not even realise that my post here had anything to do with it (I did not bother following the link back to this post). I actually came here to have a better look at the links you provided in your "Tucson Newspapers detects infected online advertisements" post and noticed this reply. I was surprised when it was related to the last post I just finished reading on your site.
