RE: BBC weather page
The problem is that more and more sites are tightly connecting multimedia content with advertisements. I don't know what to do about that.

Anyway, try adding these two entries to IncludeExclude-U:
Code:
news.bbc.co.uk/weather/            $SET(0=a_adscr.)
newsimg.bbc.co.uk/js/app/weather/    $SET(0=a_adfn2.)


edit: Defunct entry replaced:
news.bbc.co.uk/(weather/$SET(0=a_adscr.)|$SET(sUserJS=var BBC=BBC||{};))

Sidki, the ghostery filter is doing a good work there. I moved it to incoming headers and loging the content-types matched to a file to late fine tune it. Most of these flash ads have as content type video/* or flash flv, and use to come from doubleclick...

It's not that the config isn't catching enough ads. It's more the other way around.

In the BBC case, but also in most other recent problem reports it was about inline scripts and/or functions in external scripts, which had an advertisement component as well as a legit multimedia component. They got blocked due to the advertisement component.

Regarding Ghostery, it was really helpful to find some tracking scripts and image bugs that slipped through the filters. I've uninstalled it now.

Ahh okay. I've changed the first IncludeExclude-U entry here. Hopefully it works now. Thanks for the warning.
