washingtonpost.com home page

I'm using the current EasyList with ABP 1.0.2 and Firefox 3.0.10 on Windows XP. (An OS X user with same app versions doesn't see the problem.)

The bottom half of the http://www.washingtonpost.com/ home page is rendered incorrectly. The background of the bottom half of the page appears blue instead of white.

The problem is in the /wp-srv/ad/* filter. I fixed it by creating an exception rule for http://media.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/ad/ad_v2.js, but I haven't examined that script and the other scripts that were blocked by the rule so I'm not sure that's the best possible fix.

I'm unable to reproduce this. It looks fine to me.

I disabled all my add-ons and plug-ins except ABP, and tried signing out of the site, but I still see the problem when I scroll down to the bottom half of the page, unless my exception rule is enabled.

RichardB, can you check that you have the latest Flash version installed? You can do that by going to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/. Just a guess why you are seeing that issue but nobody else does.

Wladimir, my Flash is up to date, but you suggested the cause on the ABP Filters Forum. I have the problem on the Washington Home Page but not the U.S./World Home Page. You can click at the top of the page to choose between the two versions.

Right, this is the page that has problems: http://www.washingtonpost.com/local
