AdBlockPlus blocks just ONE post on my blog

Hello, folks!

I have a Posterous blog at http://khrapov.net

If you look at my site with and without AdBlockPlus enabled (I have version 1.0.2) you'll see that just one blog post is being blocked. The one after it is displayed just fine and all the ones before are displayed just fine too.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I think I figured what the problem is

1) I have put the word "advertisement" into the title of my post.

2) Posterous makes div's ID out of the words of the title joined by a dash

3) AdBlock Plus blocks all elements that have an ID matching '-advertisement'


Any ideas how this may be resolved?

ABP blocks nothing on its own, see http://easylist.adblockplus.org/adblock ... m#adpblock

I've removed that filter from EasyList, so once you update it,everything should work. :arrow: :arrow: :arrow:

Um, but any element with ID containing -advertisment probably should be blocked.

The general hiding rules in EasyList are going to be changed for performance reasons soon and the rule in question would have been removed then anyway as it was a slow one. See http://adblockplus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4067
