AD-Block -- Internal Website

[Steve]

Hi All,

I have just finished creating an internal website using Xara Webstyle

for some reason adblock is blocking just about everything Gifs, PNGs, Javascript the lot

the webpages have includes and a css but thats about it
all the pages are ASP

the filter thats triping it appears to be
/[^a-z\d=+%@](?!\d{5,})(\w*\d+x\d)?\d*(show)?(\w{3,}%20|alligator|avs|barter|blog|box|central|context|crystal|d?html|exchange|external|forum|front|fuse|gen|get|house|hover|http|i?frame|inline|instant|live|main|mspace|net|partner|php|popin|primary|provider|realtext|redir\W.*\W|rotated?|secure|side|smart|sponsor|story|text|view|web)?_?ads?(v?((ition|meta|tology3|versal)\.com|(marketplace|rom)\.net|action\.se|bot|brite|broker|bureau|butler|cent(er|ric)|click|client|content|coun(cil|t(er)?)|creative|cycle|data(id)?|engage|entry|er(tis\w+|t(pro)?|ve?r?)|farm|feelgood|force|form|frame(generator)?|gardener|gen|gif|groupid|head|ima?ge?|index|info|js|juggler|layer|legend|link|log|man(ager)?|max|mentor(serve)?|mosaic|net|new||optimi[sz]er|parser|peeps|pic|player|po(ol|pup|sition)|proof|q\.nextag|re(dire?c?t?|mote|volver)|rotator|sale|script|search|sdk|sfac|size|so(lution|nar|urce)|stream|space|srv|stat.*\.asp|sys|(tag)?track|trix|type|view|vt|x\.nu|zone))?s?\d*(status)?\d*(?!\.org)[\W_](?!\w+\.(ac\.|edu)|astra|aware|adurl=|block|login|nl/|sears/|.*(&sbc|\.(wmv|rm)))/


what can i change on the website to remove this issue, as by default everyone uses adblock

also the site mights go on the internet so whitelisting it (although fixing the problem) wont help me then

Thanks

Is that a filter from filterset G? It looks like his style. Can you give an example of the url which it is blocking? If you cannot, it is pretty hard to work out which bit of the filter to change.

[Steve]

sure

http://test.ccsnet.ads/services.asp

Unfortunately your URL contains .ads/. ads with non-alpha characters at either end are generally ads and the filter you have is crafted to look for that string and block it. If you get the opportunity, I'd change the url.

I don't know which version of ABP you are running, but you may be able to whitelist http://test.ccsnet.ads/. Alternatively, remove the "s?" from the bit of the filter which goes "?_?ads?" but that will allow a number of other ads through.

Generally now with how ABP has been developed, these huge RegEx filters are not as good (fast) as simple filters and they are a p.i.t.a. to debug.

If you are running ABP 0.7.5.3 and Filterset G, I suggest you drop it and go over to another of the subscriptions. Rick's Easylist seems to be the most popular, but you will still probably have to whitelist your site because of your url.

Thanks

Now that i look at it its obvious...

so it won't be a problem externally as ADS is the internal TLD we chose for our domain...

Thanks

I spent ages trying to figure that out
