I didn't get it either - no show here. Try this short first one. It should work. If it doesn't, try the 2nd. The 2nd filter is "split" so as not to widen forum width; it should be entered as one line.

/banner(s|\d|id=\d*)?[\W_]/

/[^a-z]banners?[/._-]?(.*(\d+x\d+\.swf|\.f?pl|redir|siteid=)|\.(cgi|js|php)|ad|affiliate|central|click|connect|
count|current|exchange|file|grocery|id|man(age(ment|r)|ia)|newsletter|/_?promo|/rotat|/?script|serve|skyscraper|space\.|swap|trust)/

For futre reference, this forum has a "filters" section which used to really ROCK when mcm was here often. I learned a heck of a lot on it in the past. I mention that now because with the 0.6 development, I'm more "into" creating filters than ever before, and we can all learn something if we participate over there as a group! For example, I'm now looking for ways to block "redirect" without false positives, and I posted there on Yahoo stuff over last couple of days as well.

Hope the above filters help you! Cheers/ p
