Is this site "Adblock resistant" ?

About a week ago, this site
http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/index.php

had a server crash.
Before that, Adblock worked great.

Since then, the banners are back. When I right-click on them, I don't get the "Adblock image..." option.

I deleted the filter and made a new one. No help.
Adblock works great on all other sites.

If you are using the EasyList, update it.

Ok, had a look at the code behind the site. The images are being delivered from the site itself and are part of straight forward coding of a URL with an image. If I am understanding AdBlock correctly, this means that it thinks (correctly) that the images belong there, so nothing to block.

Add */banners/* to your list of filters, and all the ad images will be gone. However, I have only tried this at the level of the first page (the link you gave), and only looked for the obvious - I don't know how that filter will affect getting any other images on that site that you may want, or how it will affect any other sites you visit, good or bad.
