Was this Adblock or Facebook?

Post by annabellamariamaud »

Help! I downloaded adblock plus the other day, and it's all been working fine. But then ...

This morning I was playing Words with Friends on Facebook, and after submitting my round, an ad came up, which it usually does at this point. There's usually a little box up in the top-right corner, saying that the ad can be closed in so many seconds. This morning, the word [Block] kept flashing over the [Close] button, so I clicked that, thinking that I'd be blocking the ad. Instead, it's blocked Words with Friends. HELP! Was that an adblock feature, or a Words with Friends feature, and if it was adblock, how to undo that? HELP!?!

right click on the red Adblock plus icon
filter preferences
custom filter tab
select my adblocking rules
right click
show/hide filters
find the filter which has to do with facebook.com or word.com or fbcdn.com (in your case there might be only one)
select it and press the delete key.
close and i think you can play again

Vinnie,
I tried your instructions and every preference option comes up empty. (I am using a mac)
"Click on the red icon" where? on the Adblock page? in my ad ons window on my computer? Where can I find these lists to choose the facebook block option? I found easy list as the default on my computer once I installed adblock.
I even tried using my 13 year old son as a "translator" ;-)
