Adblock Plus Filter Blocking Content

Post by iamnu »

My Home Page is: http://cm.my.yahoo.com/

There is an Adblock Plus Filter as follows:
cm.my.yahoo.com##DIV.bd:first-child

This filter is blocking the button on my Home Page labeled "My Quicklinks" (by blocking, I mean the button does not function as designed, when the above filter is activated).

Can someone solve this problem for me? I'd like to have the filter AND be able to use "My Quicklinks".

Thanks...

Then I guess you would have to make it a bit more specific then. Without knowing why you created that rule to begin with, we can't help. What is that rule made for?

In the top right column of my Home Page, there is some "white space" with the word "Advertisement" in it.

I can eliminate the word "Advertisement" using the element hiding rule: cm.my.yahoo.com#FONT(class=ad_slug_font)

This does NOT, however, eliminate the white space.
The element hiding rule I originally posted, eliminates both the font, and the white space: cm.my.yahoo.com##DIV.bd:first-child

But alas, this also makes the "My Quicklinks" button inoperable.

Let me know if you have suggestions, or need additional information.

Get rid of those two elemet-hides and use:

Code: Select all

cm.my.yahoo.com#div(id=ad-lrec)

EXCELLENT!!!

Your code fixed another minor irritant as well.

I have the "Adblock Plus: Element Hiding Helper", but it didn't seem to help much in this case.

I'd like to understand this better, and so I ask, can you explain how you came up with the code?

Thanks so much for your help...
