I don't see any ad there, can you provide more info ? (specific page on site, screenshot - use imgur.com for uploading then post here the link)

ABP for IE does not have the custom filters feature for now but you can prepare your lists + custom filters in ABP for firefox then replace the patterns.ini file from ABP for IE with that from firefox (in abp for firefox you can use the backup feature and export all the filters in a file named patterns.ini)

This is the site that did not get blocked before and again it is not being blocked...

http://members.boardhost.com/politics/

I wish I had a manage thing but the only thing it will let me do is enable or disable...I've checked the add-ons on my PC and everything on your site and all the settings...

it seems your filter lists are disabled / empty
check in your settings if you have at least easylist enabled

if still in trouble:

what can you do:

close IE, go into ABP for IE folder and delete patterns.ini file, then open IE and ABP should update to the last lists

the folder is at:
%userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Adblock Plus for IE\

(%userprofile% is your user profile directory, like "C:\Users\orcogirl")

Going into the inner files makes me very apprehensive....I decided I'd wait till Monday and take it to my guy...BUT

The ads for both disappeared, then a while later they came back and now they are gone again...I'll see what happens by Monday....thanks!!!
