This is the site, Just click on a message:
http://boards.go.com/cgi/mlb/request.dll?LIST&room=mlb_nyy&messagID=329799end
This is the button, in questions, properties:
http://boards.go.com/images/mlb/buttons/button_reply.gif
What should I do to get the button on this message board back?

When i go there with the ACR, it won't filter the button.
Same thing if i use another set of block filters instead.
So i guess it's an entry in one of your general block lists (adlist, keywords, ...).
Proxo's log window will show which line is triggered in which block list,
when you keep it open while loading the page.
Just comment out the entry, when you found it.
HTH, sidki

this way you could be able to find the offending filter or the offending entry in the lists.

you can always simply add
boards.go.com/images/mlb/buttons/
to your bypass list.

I also noticed it only happens after I "log-in" to the site. (very strange)
The "recommend button" remains unchanged. Funny thing is...I've been using Scojo's ACR for a while but only developed this problem recently. Is there something I can do about this?
I also used Dave's advice but nothing happened. Do I need to place any wild cards before the entry?

search your blocklists for these 2 words or, simply, load the page with the log window open to find the line that matches the code.

#====== Linked Images ===========================
# Sample match: <a href="Ad-URL"> <img src="Ad-URL"> </a>
(<as[^>]++href=$AV(*)[^>]+> (($LST(Match_Space))+ <im(g|age)s[^>]++src=$AV(*)[^>]+>)+{1,*}
&&*(href|src)=$AV( $LST(AdKeys)*)*
)
(((^<as)&?)++< / a >|)
$SET(#=<span class=PrxACRCode style=display:none;>#Image-AD</span>)
I'm not sure what is causing the problem there, but when I bypassed the entry the reply button returned. I replaced this filter with Banner Blaster which converts the button to a link which looks something like this: [reply]
Not a perfect fix but it is usable and the real banner ads are filtered as well.
Best I could come up with for now, with my limited expertise. I'll get some shut-eye now, but if anyone has any other suggestions I'll check back.
Thanks for helping!

Thanks for your help and patience yesterday! I understand what you are saying about the AdKeys list but I have never added anything to that list. Anyway, this morning I went back to my original configuration with backups of my Adkeys and AdCode list and low-and-behold the button was there like it was supposed to be. Then I realized I still had the bypass entry Dave suggested, so I figured that was why. But even after removing it the button was still ok! I'm going to leave the entry in bypass anyway! So my problem seems solved!
Scojo's filter is very effective but I am going to continue to use bannar blaster because some ads seem to get by it. I also use Pauls JavaTamer 1 & 2, Ad Containers, Remove contents of <no script>, as well as, Map Ad blaster and the default pop-up filters as my main filters. That seems to be a good combination for my needs. The pages load quickly, almost all ads are neutralized and I don't have to tinker around too much.
Proxo Rules!!!

At the Yahoo list I've been playing with a new idea to remove ad containers using the javascript DOM. Advantage is it's pretty fast and simple, disadvantage is it only works in browser that fully support DOM (includes IE 5+, Mozilla and Netscape). Opera's DOM support isn't quite up to it yet. Here's my current incarnation (even newer than the one on Yahoo). Just add these two filters to your webfilters...
+++++++++ clip here +++++++++++++++
[Patterns]
Name = "DOM container killer v0.003"
Active = TRUE
Limit = 256
Match = "<start>"
Replace = "<script>"
"function PDOMhide(t){"
" var x=t.parentNode;"
" var d=4;"
" while(d-- && x && x.childNodes.length<5){"
" var y=x;"
" var tag=y.nodeName;"
" x=x.parentNode;"
" if(tag.match(/^(TD|TR|IFRAME|A|DIV|P|SPAN)$/)){"
" if(0){alert(tag + ":" + y.childNodes.length + "\n" + y.innerHTML);}"
" if(tag=="TR"){d=0;}"
" y.parentNode.removeChild(y);"
" }"
" }"
" t.parentNode.removeChild(t);"
"}"
"</script>
"
Name = "DOM Banner Blaster v0.003"
Active = TRUE
Bounds = "<as*</a>|<iframe*</iframe>|<ilayer*</ilayer>|<img*>|<input*>|<script*</script> <noscript>"
Limit = 800
Match = "*=$AV($LST(AdKeys)*)*&<(a*<img|[^a])"
Replace = "<img src="http://local.ptron/killed.gif" "
"onload="PDOMhide(this);" width=1 height=1>"
+++++++++ clip here +++++++++++++++
It seems to work pretty well so far and should kill anything the normal banner blaster does. Just be sure to turn the regular B.B. off if you use this one (they may conflict if used together).

I'll give it a test drive...
Post by: CoolBeans on July 02, 2002, 03:33:20 AM
First off, I'm using IE6... and bypassed all filters except the two new ones
I had a problem right off with ESPN (that's my test-bed site)
I got an "IE cannot open Internet site error...Operation Aborted!"
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/index
On that page is an ad that's driving me crazy. It's for that new Disney cartoon. I can't get rid of it for the life of me!
http://boards.espn.go.com/cgi/mlb/request.dll?LIST&room=mlb_nyy
I deactivated the banner blaster and then they loaded. The ACR did a nice job there. I also had the error pop-up box when i loaded this site:
http://newslink.org/menu.html
but the page loaded anyway!
I've got to call it a day for now, but will use it some more tomorrow!
Good Night!
