CNET download.com Sponsored Links blocked

Hello,

I am having trouble with download.com sponsored links.

When you run a search for particular item, it will not show up if it is sponsored.

Here is an example page:

http://www.download.com/3120-20_4-0.htm ... r&tag=srch

Ability Mail Server should be the top link, but it is blocked.

I am using Adblock Plus 0.7.1.2 with EasyList 09/23/06 and EasyElement 09/23/06.

Thanks!

Actually it works fine here.

You need to 'uncheck' the "Check banner links" option in ABP's option settings (this is known to cause problems and comes 'enabled' by default).

Everything will be fine then.

(I wish Wladimir would turn that 'off' by default)

Ahh....makes sense. But if you disable that setting doesn't it open you up to more ads?
