banner?

That's from EasyList which I recommend you try. If that isn't enough, add the following.

Code: Select all

btjunkie.org#th(width=170)
btjunkie.org#th(class=flag_box)

EasyList because: http://adblockplus.org/en/faq_project#filterset.g

Why do you use Adblock 0.5?

You can't use the EasyList with v0.5 ... there are newer syntaxes in the EasyList that only work in Adblock Plus 0.7. Also, the element-hides that Stu gave you will not work in O.5 either, so you may as well forget using those.

This would be a question for the regular Adblock Forum:

.. or G's forum if you are using Filterset.G:

(which strangely enough seems to be down again at this writing)

dutchblock never dropped support for older Adblock 0.5.
I wouldn't recommend Filterset G. Just use easylist or dutchblock.

In any case, you should use Adblock Plus 0.7.

ALL filtersets work with it. Many subscriptions here are 'optimized' to work faster and more efficiently on ABP (including easylist, dutchblock). Filterset.g is not.

ABP also supports ALL element-hiding strings (aka: the EasyElement filter) that Adblock v0.5 does not support at all. Therefore:

Code: Select all

btjunkie.org#th(width=170)
btjunkie.org#th(class=flag_box)

... will not work as filters in 0.5.

Again, I would NOT recommend using the EasyList if you are not using 0.7. You need to find a reasonably compact list that does not use special characters "$" or "#" in the strings in you want to continue using v0.5. Because these characters are only understood by 0.7, false-positives and blocking errors will occur.

Why don't you just try 0.7? Most of the subscriptions here are made specifically for it. G's filters work ... but they don't take any advantage of the shortcut 'optimizing' features of 0.7, so it will work just as slow in ABP as it does in Adblock 0.5.
