Problem with The Weather Channel

Post by streetwolf »

TWC has recently changed it's web site format. There are many gray rectangles that are displayed where the ads used to be. I am using ABP 2.0.4b.3450 on Fx15 Nightly. I first contacted Fanboy, whose filters I use, and he made some filter changes which did fix a few problems but not all of them. He suggested I post this bug report.

Here's a screenshot of the problem.

****update****
I had a custom ad blocking rule ||admin.brightcove.com^. When I disabled this rule everything seems to display fine.

I'm having the same issue. It appears the ||revsci.net^$third-party filter in EasyList might be the culprit. Unfortunately, it blocks the ads as well as the radar map. And as the OP mentioned, it leaves the gray rectangles in place of the ads.
