How to block these gif adverts
Hi
I decided to have a clean up of Proxomitron, fresh install and a few tweaks, however now I get a couple of ads flashing away that I never used to before. Most are .gif ads http://www.nufc.com/ has two ads one for flybe and one match day travel 53p !!! They never used to animate but do now. Also a lot of sites now have this awful "Facebook social plugin" which I cant seem to stop from loading on lots of sites I visit for instance http://uk.msn.com/ has one Oh and on a side note JJoe if it helps, IE9 still dont work properly with default filters that come with proxo when you first install or a fresh install of the sidkis. Kind Regards Scoop |

Try adding Code: www.nufc.com/2011-12images/Network_One.gif $RDIR(http://local.ptron/killed.gif) to Exceptions-U We shouldn't add these to a published set, however. You have to see them to know that they are unwanted. The internet has millions of these. (Nov. 04, 2011 04:29 PM)scoop Wrote: They never used to animate but do now. You probably had Proxo's "Freeze GIF animation" setting active before.

I doubt that you (most?) want to do that. Code: <div id="facebooklike" class="co1b1 co coa2 coc1 m3 en-gb1"><h2 class="h2 cf"><span>BECOME A FAN OF MSN ON FACEBOOK</span></h2><div class="br br1"><div class="fbact" xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml"><!--<fb:like-box href="http://www.facebook.com/ukmsn" width="300" colorscheme="light" stream="false" header="false" border_color="white"></fb:like-box>--></div></div></div> creates it. Since you would like to stop it everywhere, try adding Code: facebooklike to the bottom of AdKeys.ptxt. Still, it may not get them all.

I know. I think IE9 may be... different. |

RE: How to block these gif adverts
The Nufc stuff dont seem to work, I had the Freeze gifs enabled before so not sure what wrong. Its not a great pain its just I like to try and work things out, although not very good at it.!
The filter set i was using had exceptions etc etc added and added and added to over the years so thought it might need a clearing out. I vaugly remember posting for some help on Castlecops years ago about that nufc site but obviously cant check it now Kind Regards Scoop |

Also JJoe if you dont mind me asking please could you explain in an "easy way" how you found the facebooklike code for AdKeys.ptxt. ?
If I could work out how to do it I may not pester you gurus as much!! Kind Regards Scoop |

First, open the Proxomitron's log window, open a blank browser window, clear the browser's cache, and try to load just the image. In the log window I see Quote:New Message Log Window.... If it loads, Right click on the image and find its address. Is it the same as mine? Does the log window show a blocklist match? |

In ChromePlus, Opera, or Firefox with firebug, I right click on the page, select "Inspect Element", and quickly see HowI.gif (Size: 145.62 KB / Downloads: 621) . Otherwise: If the browser has a status bar, sidki's menu has a toggle for the DOM path and Topo view. After DOM path is enabled, the path for the element under the cursor may be displayed in the status bar. HowI2.gif (Size: 227.69 KB / Downloads: 614) OR I'd search the source or dbug for "Become" and work backwards for a useful attribute. HTH |
