Hi,
We use WeatherBug to display local weather on our site and recently it's being blocked by Easylist. The filter that's doing the block is: "/728x90/*". I don't know if that's a new filter for Easylist or if WeatherBug changed the name of some of their elements.
WeatherBug being blocked
Have you got the actual url it is effecting?

Sorry for not including the URLs. Since this is an Easylist forum, I was thinking the Easylist filter would be the only thing anyone could respond about. Here are the URLs:fanboy wrote:Have you got the actual url it is effecting?

Can you post a link to the actual site that you are having problems with.

But don't be surprised if the webmaster has implement a workaround by the time you see it.
Code: Select all
@@*.weatherbug.com/*
I am at a bit of a loss as to why
Code: Select all
@@*weatherbug.com*$domain=pkra.com
Code: Select all
@@*.weatherbug.com/*
Code: Select all
@@*weatherbug.com*$domain=pkra.com
I've fixed the issue with 2 whitelists
Code: Select all
@@.weather.weatherbug.*/stickers/*
@@/weather.weatherbug.*/web-widgets/*

Yes, the weatherbug image is apparently being loaded by a frame from weather.weatherbug.com. Meaning that the original filter can be changed into "/728x90/*$domain=~weather.weatherbug.com" without any whitelists.
Oh yeah It does effect my list a little more,
Not so much so for easylist.. but suggested $domain filter should be finehttp://weather.weatherbug.com/desktop-w ... [b]=728x90&[/b]StationID=KDVT&units=0&Version=2
http://img.weather.weatherbug.com/Style ... [b]_728x90.[/b]css
Suggested domain filter would have to be added to the 3 active filters wouldn't it ?
Code: Select all
*_728x90.*
/728x90/*
*=728x90&*
This would be enough on my list:
Should be enough for just easylist:
But using both, yeah all 3 filters.
Code: Select all
@@/weather.weatherbug.*/web-widgets/*
@@.weather.weatherbug.*/stickers/*
Code: Select all
"/728x90/*$domain=~weather.weatherbug.com"

This is getting weird. The problem was fixed. Now a few days later, its back. Same files being blocked by the same filter as first reported. Its like the fix was dropped sometime in the last few days.
Working fine for me. Make sure you have the latest Firefox and more importantly the latest ABP (one that supports domain exceptions).
Fanboy has a list of common ad dimensions that also had a false positive on that site, as mentioned he has fixed it in his list by using two whitelists. Downloading his list will not only catch more ads but it will also make doubly sure that the problem is fixed.
You can get his "Object Dimensions" list from
http://www.fanboy.co.nz/adblock/alpha/
The "Object Dimensions" list and his "Adult/Dating Adservers" list both work fine in conjunction with EasyList
