I'm using Adblock Plus 0.59 and the Adblock Filterset.G Updater 0.24, and can't seem to get user-defined filters to actually work. I do have the user-defind filters box checked in the options, and have collapse blocked elements, check parent links and site whitelisting checked. Here's what I've got, let me know if they should be expressed differently:
@@www.alpineaccess.com
@@*.viking.*/*
@@*.officedepot.*/*
http://media.snitchy.com/ssthumbs/*.swf
*.adultfriendfinder.*
On Viking and OfficeDepot's site, they have internal ads for things on the site that I need to be visible, starting with http://cdn.vikingop.com/images/tiles/* and http://cdn.www.officedepot.com/images/tiles/*, and that's what is being blocked, even with my filters. They used to show fine, but suddenly it started blocking them, maybe after an update of the Filterset.G list. Also, it's allowing http://cdn.viking.com/images/%image%.gif, but blocking http://cdn.viking.com/images/tiles/%image%.gif. This is the filter that's showing t when I highlight a blocked entry:
/[^a-z\d=+%@](\w*\d+x\d)?\d*(show)?(\w{3,}%20|alligator|avs...
Is there any way to edit that so it doesn't block those images? I don't understand the variables, even after looking at the explanations. But shouldn't my user-defined filters override that anyway? I even tried adding @@http://cdn.viking.com/images/tiles/* and @@http://cdn.www.officedepot.com/images/tiles/* to the user-defined list, and it makes no difference. I cleared the cache and reloaded the page after changing them, but it's still blocking them. If I delete that filter, the tiles show, but I'd have to delete it again after every time it updates. I added the user-defined filters after installing and importing the Filterset.G and whitelistbeta filters, if that makes any difference, but I don't think it should. Any help? Thanks.
EDIT: I figured it out. When I hover over the tile images, it says, i.e; http://www.viking.com/adRedir.do;jsessionid=..., so I added @@http://www.viking.com/adRedir.do;* and http://www.officedepot.com/adRedir.do;* to my user-defined filter list, and now the images are not being blocked. I guess it was the adRedir that was being filtered.
