Hi all,

I guess it's something about DIV but I'm lost here...
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

It looks like spam.

No it is not spam (but ads are spam, so it is spam...

).
It is a bot which adds a post after the first post. I already saw it at another board. They used google-ads there, so they were not visible. But a blank post remained.
I these ads are not blockable. Even CSS/element hiding will not be successful, because it's a normal posting.

One thing you can remove easily is the link, by using
#*(href*=pagename.com)
at least you will sure you never click on this link

Looks like you don't want help, because you did not give site url.

The last one with an ad between post I'm sure could be blocked with element hiding (if you give us a link). But the first one is a spam post and you can't block it without blocking other peoples post on the forum. That's why it's up to the forum mods to take care of that type of ad/spam.

1st link
xtrempc.ro#td(class=inlinead)
Will block the in line ad that is between the post. I looked around quite a bit and didn't see any issue with it, but I can't read the language so I can't be for sure. Someone else may have a better way to handle it, but this one does work. I would also use *trafic.ro* so the site will be a little faster. It hangs trying to log the site's hits. Again I don't know if this one has issue with other parts of site for sure.
2nd link
*computergames.ro/cg/forum/banner/*
*ad2.ip.ro* (this one is also need for the first link)
That the best I can do.. lots of time finding those for me. I'm not the best at this. But I'm learning. Hope this helps. Use these at your own risk. Remove them if the site messes up.

Then there isn't anything can be done with the spam ones. There is no way to tell it from a regular post, best I can tell. Sorry.

Thanks. Flawless for xtrempc.ro, no more inline ads, but I remain with others two. I think that I'm forced to get use to them...

Open your Adblock Plus sidebar, do you see green items.
If green items show up, it means your filter rules whitelistes them, click those items and fix, disable or delete those whitelisting rules.

It's not impossible to remove the forum post ad, it's just extremely difficult.
I was able to use RIP to remove the post from the page which would have worked if the ad was always the second post on each forum page. The post, however, is at the end which varies from page to page so I
don't think RIP (Remove it Permanently) can do it.
Your best bet would be to use Grease Monkey (is it still maintained?) and write a GreaseMonkey script that searches for and removes the last post on that particular forum.
Aha...install GreaseMonkey and install this script.

I've had no luck getting GM scripts to work on 1.5
