althought i added 'A:link[HREF*="?us.i1.yimg.com/?"]  IMG,' as a no no in the ad_blocking.css file, the gif is still shown ;(

Reproducible: Always

I see no indication at all in the source that the image is an img element inside of a link to something in the us.i1.yimg.com domain, so I wouldn't expect that to work.

Feel free to re-open if you can show source that demonstrates that rule should apply to the image you are trying to block.

There's a difference between an image with a source of us.i1.yimg.com/<something> and an image that is inside a link with href of us.i1.yimg.com/<something>.  I've looked at the source quoted in the dup, the JS it references, and the live DOM, and I still don't see an image inside a link to us.i1.yimg.com.

The image comes from the stylesheet, so again it's not going to be blocked by normal rules:

#wkndspnsrimg{
	1border:1px solid #CCC;
	background:url(http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/fi/ads/hpbg1.jpg) no-repeat top left transparent;
	background-color:#ffffff;
	margin:0 0 10px 0;
	padding:0 0 0 0;
}

In the future, please try to make sure that the CSS rules you are using really should apply to the elements you are trying to block before filing bugs.
