Quick Question: Can You See Our Gallery Images?

Just a quick question for our readers who happen to be using Firefox and the ad-blocking extension Adblock Plus: are you able to view the images in any of our galleries?

Here’s an example of what I’m talking about – in our recent Rare Stars Wars Photos post, we have included a gallery, but in some cases you might not be able to see it.

It’s through no fault of Adblock Plus – by itself it blocks nothing – it is however the subscription (or subscriptions) you have installed that does the filtering. It seems that the EasyList (USA) subscription is blocking 125 pixel by 125 pixel images, which happen to be the same size as the thumbnails we use in our galleries, hence the gallery is now shown.

If you are experiencing this problem, I’ve written a quick guide to resolve the problem. You can find it after the jump.

Step 1: Start up Firefox.

Step 2: In the Firefox menu bar, click Tools – Adblock Preferences.

Step 3: In the Adblock Plus Preferences dialog box, click the Add filter button.

Step 4: In the New filter text field, copy and paste the following code and click the OK button.

Step 5: Done!

If all goes well, you should now be able to see our galleries. I’m sure there are other ways to resolve the problem, so if you have an alternate solution do let us know.

Hm, thanks for the techie advice, but I’m not using adblock plus and i can’t see the gallery either (except in your handy screenshot in your instructions…)
