Anyone have a problem with http://sports.yahoo.com/? Since yesterday
morning (5/17), it's been loading - or not loading - properly here, and
I'm at a loss to figure out why. Here's a screenshot:
http://tinypic.com/m/fxfrwz/1. It's actually pretty good: with Ad
Muncher running, what's shown would be all black except some text down
the left, and most of what's visible would show vertically down through
several screens. I have AdBlocker extension running, but pausing it has
no effect. Other pages load ok, although I've seen some incomplete text
formation during this time. With IE10 and FF everything is ok. Any
ideas? Thanks,
Gene

I haven't looked at it before -- I am not particularly a sports fan -- but
it seems to be OK for me: O 12.15/1748 Win32 XP Pro SP3.

Same here, works fine.

Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux i686) Presto/2.12.388 Version/12.15
I looked at a couple of pages, including a video, all was good.

My question is what do I do with your information? I've got Block
Content's edit box open, but I'm not clear how to apply your three
lines.
It looks like Yahoo has actually fixed the page this morning, at least
with AdBlock; I had submitted the problem on one of their help
pages. But with AdMuncher, it's still a problem and so I'd like to try
your fix. Thanks,
Gene

[1] fixed it, using the URL. The Ad Muncher developer and I have gone
back and forth about it all night - he didn't encounter the problem -
yet with your simple suggestion it's apparently fixed. Thanks,
