Whitelisted filter doesn't work?

I am a moderator over at phpbuilder.com and I love to use Firefox. So for every other site I want adblock plus enabled. So I have the following filter in my ruleset:

Code: Select all

@@|http://phpbuilder.com
@@|http://www.phpbuilder.com

Now, I've visited there a few times before enabling this ruleset which means that the ads were previously blocked; however, now when I visit the site, the ads aren't there. The ads are being served through mjxads.net or someone like that. So is my ruleset wrong? Or do I need to uninstall the extension then reinstall it and add the filter immediately?

Those whitelists should be ok. You could probably just use one instead:

Code: Select all

@@|http://*phpbuilder.com

I noticed that the "mjxads.internet.com" ads are only at the BOTTOM of the forum pages. There seems to be none in the top there even with no blocking. Unless there are element-hiding rules affecting the site (dark-blue with a # in them), the whitelist rules should be working properly.

#Element-hiding rules will still show up in the "Blockable items" list on a whitelisted site because the can't be whitelisted.

hmm... well, they have the AJAX quick reply stuff there, and if I do that, I see a couple ads (the horizontal at the top, and vertical on the right). But if I just load a page, I don't see them

Even if I tell ABP to "disable" on the site, I still get blocked content. What are these element hiding rules you're talking about? I have element-collapse turned on (although I've tried with it turned off) and still I get blocked ads.

I'm completely at a loss here.

Whose filter subscription(s), if any, are you using?
