This is really a terrible analogy. Newsgroups are also filled with people who complain that IE does not support a whole host of features supported in multiple other browsers in the first place, but here is not the place to argue that. The lesson here is that we should not be adapting to something that you purposely broke. Reguardless of your opinion, the fact remains that adblock breaks the web, refusing to display images or other bits of code that would normally be displayed, and we should not try to work around something you broke. Instead, let the Adblock devs fix it. Here is the offending code: img[src*="/adv"] Here is an easy way to fix it img[src*="/advert"] Still matches adverts, advertise, advertisements, etc. Voila, problem solved. > > Roy > > AdBlock: embrace, extend, and extinguish. -- --Robert Deaton http://somethingunpredictable.com
