if you can give us an example of the images you wish to block, and the exceptions you'd like to create, it may be easier to tell you.

anyway, the simplest way will probably be to add a line to block them in your userChrome.css

Its easy to put your own lines in adblock but only if you know what you are trying to block

DI clearly stated that it was images with abc but not xyz

I don't think you can get it to work like that with this version of the plugin.

If you ask it to block images containing "abc", it'll block all images containing "abc"

it is possible...i glance through this website and since i dunno much about it (i know little bout regular expressions)
http://devedge.netscape.com/library/...p.html#1010689

here's an excerpt of the wat it sez...

[^xyz] - A negated or complemented character set. That is, it matches anything that is not enclosed in the brackets. You can specify a range of characters by using a hyphen.

that's as much as i can do, u'll have to "fill in the rest of the blanks"

nice example

and you can use a * as a wildcard,

so

http://www.blablabla.bla/blablablaABCblablabla

can be blocked by

*ABC*

but that will block everything with ABC in it........

and you cant do bolean blocks
