Adblock Plus

Recently a site I visit daily (http://www.nydailynews.com/ny) started using an ad background and it slows the site down quite a bit.
When I'm scrolling on the page you can notice a huge lag. During the week, this ad usually disappears and I get back my normal speed.
I tried blocking the element manually but it has no affect. If I try to block the ad in a different spot, it blocks the whole site content.

Can anyone post the filter to remove the background image so I can scroll normally again? Huge Thanks, Much Appreciated

try

I copied and pasted this into the filter list and I could not get it to work.
The background ad is still present. Do I have to add anything to the text?
Does this work when you try it on the site? Thanks so much for you're help.

yes, sure, it works for me
did you add it as custom filter ?

Hi, I pasted the text you posted in the second tab in ABP options, "Add you're own Filters".
I still can't get it to work. I tried the same steps in chrome and I got it to work. Strange
I restarted Safari, tried re adding the filter and I still get the background ad.
I'm not sure why this is not working. Here are some Screens. Thanks Again

well, this seems to be a bug in abp for safari (I tested the filter in chrome), the devs will investigate ...

OK No Problem, Thanks very much for passing along the info to the devs. Much Appreciated
