... (i use a custom Firefox extension for JS troubleshooting, though).

Then i add below entries _temporarily_ to the general bypass list - one after the other:
news.bbc.co.uk/
newsimg.bbc.co.uk/
node1.bbcimg.co.uk/

Result: The second entry fixes the problem (for me anyway).

I get down to there pretty easily in testing issues, but I generally use the Firefox extension, NoScript, to quickly identify domains / paths that are breaking the page when they are blocked.

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/js/app/av/emp/emp.js

I get this part as well. Trial and error at its best.

Code:

</Match>
function(){ return String(); /* PROX: Ad Function II Blocked - (AdKey.2 ads.companionId) */ [...] }

But my inability to find this 'match' is where I'm losing it. How and where is this match generated? I don't see it anywhere, including the 'debugged' page.

Sorry for being so thick-headed.

Thank you for taking valuable time to explain your methods. I really appreciate it.
