Hi -
I've never had problems with this before when I used this program a while back in Firefox, so I don't know if it is a glitch with Chrome or a change in the programming of AdBlock Plus, or maybe its just me. I really don't want to be looking at the background images on some livejournal pages. But when I go to block them, the filter or whatever ends up blocking the entire page. Please help.

If you post the URL of an example I could take a look.

Generally speaking, lets say there is a CSS property for <body> tag like "background: url(http:/www.example.com/images/example.jpg);".
You can add "http://www.example.com/images/*" to your ADBP filter list.
And that should block all backgrounds images coming from the same URL.
Using "advanced" ADBP rules you can restrict the filter to some address only.

Okay - so I went into the source code and found the background image it was linked to and just blocked the image itself and it worked ... yay! Thank you!

You are welcome. It is the basic of how ABP works.
