Blocks my 'Add To Kaboodle' button

[keiron]

I'm one of the co-founders at Kaboodle (www.kaboodle.com) and we've had some of our users report that Adblock Plus stops their 'Add To Kaboodle' button from working.

We use a javscript bookmarklet to insert JS into the current webpage so users can save it to their kaboodle lists. From playing with Adblock it looks like it's blocking our inserted JS from loading.

I added the following filter to Adblock:
@@|http://www.kaboodle.com/

Which seems to allow kaboodle to do it's thing. I wanted to check this was the correct thing to recommend to our users and also see if there is somewhere we can post this for all Adblock users since our JS is only ever run as a result of a user clicking our 'Add To Kaboodle' button explicitly.

Thanks for the help

If it is whitelisting, then what filter string is actually blocking it? Also what subscription(s) are you using?

It should be easier to fix the problem

From what I can see that's the script that is blocked:

http://www.kaboodle.com/ht/scripts/add/ ... r0_24_0_45

Looking at the popular filter subscriptions, it matches the filter /banner*?$~subdocument in EasyList, /banner. in dutchblock and some awfully long regexp in Filterset.G. With a name like this, false positives really should be expected - maybe you can rename this script into something less ambiguous? As far as I can see it doesn't really have anything to do with banners, it simply adds a "Loading..." block (or "Adding to Kaboodle..." in this case).

EasyList: removed string.

I'm using EasyList (USA), not sure what our users have been using.

Wow, that's great thanks. I'll also see to change the banner.js file name to avoid similar conflicts in the future...didn't think about the implications of calling it that
