ABP suddenly breaking websites, including wiki and reddit

Hey folks.

Looks like something got pushed down in a recent update that is causing imbedded images to stop displaying on multiple websites, including rendering issues on wikipedia and inline images to not display on reddit.

aaaand as soon as i posted this, the issue seems to have cleared up for me. Grrr. Sorry folks for the false alarm. Must have been a filtering issue.

You're not the only one. Something's definitelly broken, 90% of the sites I visit now have complete broken structure, and I either navegate the website without images and with serious structure flaws, or I have to completely disable the add-on to be able to navigate the website, but have to take with all the ads. The issue is not gone...

UPDATE: Found the fix:

Go into ADP settings/options - I found that under the Advanced tab, the ABP filters was listed as failed/unable to download. Click update all filter lists manually to fix it.
