"Block an ad on this page" doesn't work on certain sites
Using "Block an ad on this page" to block a section of a site (not an ad, but for example the Trending box on twitter) -- this works on some sites (like Twitter), but on others (like any Kinja sites - Jalopnik, Gizmodo, Lifehacker etc), trying to block their sidebar or similar will work only until I refresh, and then it's reset. The filter is something as simple as: "jalopnik.com##SECTION[class="sidebar"]", no randomized ID or anything. Anyone know why this is?

Basically: anything on any kinja sites -, etc - blocking any elements on them doesn't stick, the blocked elements come right back after a couple seconds (though the filter stays in the adblock settings list - e.g. "theonion.com##DIV[class="priority-nav"]")

For now nothing to do in ABP due to massive use of !important enforcement by these sites
see (search for !important)
However, a patch in chrome should fix the issue (will land in the next 2-3 versions)

Workaround:
when you create your filter (using "block element) and in the block element window is proposed
just edit it and add ? :
(meaning you convert a normal hiding filter in a procedural hiding filter which seems to work due to the different internal implementation)
