tubeplus.me broken and Flash ads displaying with AdBlock v0.52
Hello, I've decided to start a new thread for this site as it seems really broken.The problem with the tubeplus.me site is not only does it not block the Flash ads but when I click to play a video I get a "Web Address Blocked" message.
And when I disable AdBlock the video still doesn't play but goes through to the specific ad site. This is a new problem that didn't exist in previous versions of AdBlock, it has made tubeplus.me unusable with Opera and AdBlock. I'm having to use another browser just for that site!
Opera 11.51 Build 1087, XP Pro SP3.
This is the sort of thing I'm talking about, note I have "Enable Plug-ins Only On Demand" selected so Flash content doesn't play automatically.
Suppose I could right click > Block Content to solve the problem but it seems every website that has Flash ads are displaying and it would be better if they were blocked automatically by AdBlock rather than blocking each one individually. Is anyone else having a similar issue? If so how did you fix it?
Thanks.

What list are you using? If you are using the Fanboy list (default list), report the issue at the Fanboy AdBlock list forums: http://forums.fanboy.co.nz/forums/
Also note that one of the main limitations of the Opera Content Blocking API is the lack of a per-site filter, which makes list maintainers, like Fanboy, choose to not implement a filter because it could also affect other websites (could cause false positives), which may include the unblocked ads you are posting.
For flash issues, I recommend enabling 'Preferences > Advanced > Content > Enable plug-ins > Enable plug-ins only on demand'. This will block all Flash content from automatically loading. It will leave placeholders on the webpage that allow you to click to view the Flash content.

As I already stated in the previous post, "Enable plug-ins only on demand" is already selected as you can see with the screen-shots.
By the way, there is an Opera bug associated with that feature: http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=951882

This problem still persists using the Opera add-on AdBlock 0.52, but is fixed using Fanboy's urlfilter.ini file.
If you check the Fanboy forum, you can see the workings we have gone through that would suggest this is a bug with Opera AdBlock itself, and not the lists or anything else.
