Filter For Bebo

Hi all.

I've noticed for a while now that Adblock Plus blocks my ability to watch the Video Box on Bebo profiles.

I have no knowledge of how to set up an exception rule and although I had a play about with it I couldn't get anything to work for me.

So here I am, wondering if anyone here can offer me advice on how to exclude or similar the video box from being blocked on Bebo profiles.

Thanks :)

There is a method that allows you to find out which filters are active on the current page, and allows you to disable them.
Press ctrl+shift+V and you should get a menu like this:
http://adblockplus.org/en/tips?tip=effective_filter

If you find entries marked red, it means they have been blocked. You just have to guess your way through this, I'm not sure of what was blocked or not blocked that caused this, since I don't know what filters you have or what subscriptions you use.

I can recommend you to setup your list so it orders your list in a way where you can more easily find the red entries:

Just click the field I marked until you get the same triangle facing the same direction as in my picture.

To disable the filter:
Once you found a red entry, you can right click it and choose 'edit filter in effect', which pops up a menu like this: http://adblockplus.org/en/tips?tip=subs ... ove_filter
with a row of green buttons.
When you get that popup, the filter should have automatically been focused on so all you need to do is to click the green button next to the filter and click apply.

Ah I can't thank you enough !

That has been annoying me so such a long time, a couple of clicks and the video box is back !

If you use a filter subscription and you believe you have found a false positive you should post a link to the site in question and what you disabled to make it work. This will enable it to be fixed.
