How to whitelist text ads on gpxplus.net?

[KamiKazeKenji]

So I've been fighting to completely block the ads on GPX+ for awhile now. Looks like the admins finally realized that pushing and shoving doesn't get anywhere, and they pulled back. Now they only have text ads on the bottom of the page instead of (in addition to for now) the flash (BLARGH) ads in the middle of the page, where it is simply a huge annoyance.

I applaud the wise move by their team to make this change, and I hope it stays this way. As for me, I obviously don't want to trample on their efforts by blocking these text ads and being an ass.

The text ads in question are from publisheradnetwork.com.

I've tried the following filters,

Code: Select all

gpxplus.net@@publisheradnetwork.com
gpxplus.net@@*.publisheradnetwork.com/*
@@publisheradnetwork.com
@@http://gpxplus.net/files/pan.html

but none of them seemed to work...

Is there something wrong with my syntax or are there other things I need to do to get those ads showing?

Try this one:
@@||publisheradnetwork.com/pub/*$domain=gpxplus.net

And you may add also:
@@||publisheradnetwork.com/pub/css/*

I tried the filters on both Firefox and Chrome but it didn't work.

I can't tell on Chrome, since it seems ABP still has severe limitations.
But I tried on Firefox and those rules should work.

What subscription(s) are you using?

[LorenzoC]

Maybe it is not a blocking rule but an element hiding rule, like:
##DIV.textad
In this case you should whitelist with:
~publisheradnetwork.com##DIV.textad

I tried that filter, but it didn't work either... The ad flashed for a frame though, but disappeared.

I only use the easylist filter. Just easylist.

The element hiding rule I posted was just an example.
I can't tell exactly what is getting hidden.

Open the "blockable items" panel from ABP icon.
You should see the blocked and hidden elments with the related filter rule.

Haha, my bad.

I whitelisted some things with the "blockable items" thing yesterday, but it didn't work. I tried again right now and it seems to be working. Now I copied the whitelisted filters from Firefox to Chrome but it had no effect. How do I get this to work on Chrome?

Bump. No one knows how to whitelist those ads?
