    Yes, so list the blocked elements in ABP and re-enable the one you want on that site... See, if dimensions match well known banner stuff it may happen, also the images might get served from a site you've blocked in ABP before etc. It's not a bug or anything, just a problem with generic rules.

    Well, right-click on the thing when ABP is disabled and see what the properties tell you. Or view the source code for that page. I get a red WOT status with about the worst rating possible when I clicked on hxxp://www.arcadebanners.com/banners...ssc=1148665877 link so sorry but I have no desire to investigate this for you.

    arcadebanners.com WOT rating - please make the link non-clickable or better remove it. Might as well get some drive-by malware downloads for people. :thumbd: :mad:

    Nevermind, I cant find the address, so I just enable it at that page

    All the link is non-clickable now.

    If Adblock Plus can block something the context menu should say- "Adblock Plus: Block *whatever*" (usually image). I think this is about the easiest way to use it. You can drive yourself nuts trying to figure out what all those items in the "Blockable items" list are.

    In the Preferences>Options you can set it to show a tab on Flash and Java elements which you can theoretically click to block them but I never had much luck getting it to work very well. I've had a lot better luck with NoScript (Firefox add-on) for Flash and Java.

    The screenshots are in a div called "adbox" so you probably have a filter rule called ##DIV.adbox rather than you blocking a domain, because other images you don't have blocked are served from the same domain.

    So take a look at your element hiding rules for the adbox div.
