If Adblock Plus is doing its job you shouldn't see any ads below the 'Latest Posts' box on the right. If they're still there, check that you've actually subscribed to an appropriate filter list. Go to Tools > Adblock Plus Preferences. Under 'Filter Rule' you should see the name of the list (or lists) which you're subscribed to. If there's nothing there, or you simply want to add a filter which will do the job better than your existing filter does on its own, click Filter > Add Filter Subscription and select a suitable subscription. I use 'Morpheus Rus List + Easylist' (because I visit a lot of sites based in Eastern Europe). You might find 'List FR (France) + Easylist' more appropriate for your browsing habits (but I've not tested it to see whether it blocks AB's ads).

If 'Adblock Preferences' doesn't even appear under 'Tools', the add-on hasn't installed. Try reinstalling it.

If Adblock seems to be present, together with a valid subscription, check that it's enabled. Click 'Options' (within Adblock Plus Preferences) and check that there's a tick alongside 'Enable Adblock Plus'.

Thank you as always Chris, for your easy to understand reply. No, there wasn't anything on the list, I didn't realise it was by subscription only. I will get onto that pronto! Thanks again, Shirl
