Trying to make a small excpetion to fanboy's annoyances list

Post by reepicheep »

I'm using fanboy's excellent annoyances filter list. It works wonderfully for blocking all those things that are ... well ... annoying, social networking links and such like. However, there is one place where I find it annoying :wink: and that is on The Guardian newspaper's web site. Unfortunately they have the "email to a friend" feature mixed up with all the truly annoying stuff that needs to remain blocked. I'd like to open a little hole that allows only the email option to be visible.

I tried setting an exception for the email option but it is embedded in a list that the annoyances list is squelching. No matter what I try I can't create an exception that works.

The annoyance rule that fires is

Code: Select all

@@guardian.co.uk#article-toolbox
and here's the relevant section of HTML

Code: Select all

<ul id="article-toolbox-side">
<li class="printable">
<a id="printlink" class="printable rollover" title="Link to a printer-friendly version" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/aug/12/jonathan-nott-bamberg-symphony-orchestra/print">
</a>
</li>
<li>
<a class="rollover send-email" title="Opens an email form" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/email/1618792">
</a>
</li>
...
I would like to keep the send-mail portion while letting the rule blatt away the rest of the stuff. Possible?

Is not a valid rule. Hiding rules don't work like that.

If you create an issue report for the page in question we should be able to point you in the right direction.
