gravatar - how to exclude [white]

Post by asabiel »

I have one question/suggestion - is there any chance to exclude gravatar (http://site.gravatar.com/) in EasyList? Avatars are blocked and whole idea of that site is losing its meaning.

What is being blocked? I use nothing that would block "gravitar"?

gravatar is a site that enable assign an avatar to your email; if you post a comment on blog or site that supports avatars with relevant email, gravatar automatically shows up your avatar.
but easylist treats gravatars as banners, and that doesnt work.

(sorry for my english, hope that u understand me)

Making an allowance for:

Code: Select all

@@http://site.gravatar.com/
... would not do anything because "http://site.gravatar.com/" is NOT BLOCKED by EasyList.

What address does gravatar use that is being blocked?

There is nothing in MY subscriptions that that blocks anything in that address. That avatar shows fine.

Are you sure it is the EasyList subscriptions that you are having trouble with???

Can you give me a PAGE example where this is blocked?

Does the 'exception' that I gave you work?

I think I've got it. From what I can see, it has to do with "/coiserv.php".
I've made a whitelist ... let me know if it works ok.

I finally found the string you were talking about:

Code: Select all

http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id= ............
It seems that the string that is blocking it is in the ABP Tracking Filter and not the EasyList (has nothing to do with gravatar). If you had given me a correct place to see this on a page, I would have had this fixed. Someone just happened to mention a site that contained them:
http://adblockplus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1827

Strange that it is your project, yet you don't know how the address from your own domain is served .... or where it is used :?

Anyway, I think it is fixed. I seems like a legit whitelisting. :arrow: :arrow: :arrow:
