702348 2008-09-03 22:30:00 None. I didn't know that there were any. I double click on an ad or banner, and then select it to be added to my blockable items.

I learnt from someone on PressF1 the wee trick of using asterisks to bracket common components in the addresses for items such as ads or banners - hence if you add *ads* or *banner* to your AdBlock preferences, it will block any items that contains those terms.

I suppose I miss out on some things that contain those words, but not that I have noticed :) What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over.
