Legit image blocked by adblock plus

Post by george6996 »

Hello,
  • The exact description of what happens and what you think is wrong

    I am building a website and have noticed that the logo is missing in a link to LinkedIn.com. Some web search pointed to AdBlock Plus as the cause of the problem. The advice was to have a file name that doesn't look as if it is an ad. The original file name was In-2C-28px-R.png and I found the suggestion fair enough to test it. Unfortunately, it does not work with LI-logo.png (http://devt.bg/bg/za-nas/) and LinkedIn.png (http://devt.bg/en/about/) either. Could anyone suggest a solution that will work on most client browsers?

    The website should be designed "ABP proof," as I cannot make visitors ad custom filters.
    The problem is not with the way the link is set <a href="#" onclick='window.open("https://www.linkedin.com/in/gngeorgiev");return false;'>, as it was happening even when it was <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/gngeorgiev">.
    It happens only with Google Chrome, but not with Mozilla Firefox (both have AdBlock Plus installed).
  • The Adblock Plus version number: 1.12.4
  • The browser and browser version number, e.g. Chrome 54.0.2840.90 (64-bit)
  • The computer operating system, e.g. linux kubuntu 14.04
  • All relevant configuration details, e.g. filter lists used, your own filters, unusual browser configuration, other extensions, etc.

    Open the links in the description and probably you will see the same as me - missing logo in the link to linkedin.com under the picture at left sidebar.
Thanks in advance for the support,
George

you are using fanboy's social list which is blocking the social stuff. So, it's normal !?

in your case is this filter:

Code: Select all

##img[alt="LinkedIn"]
which is hiding the linkedin element
