1.7 has a pretty old implementation of image blocking.. is this an issue in current trunk builds?

comics.com uses multiple servers for advertisements, so reloading can show different results. sites will also use iframes or other tricks to get around the originating-server-only restriction. I don't think there is a bug here. there are ways to improve the image blocking, and there are bugs filed about them. but in the near term, just right-click ads and use the "block server" option.
