[Bug 123525] konqueror ad filter hides legitimate images

[Tony Middleton]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase

I am using a standard feisty Kubuntu AMD64 installation.

I have just spent some time trying to diagnose a problem with my website
whereby some images were not showing when using Konqueror but were OK on
Firefox or IE.  It appears to be as a result of the adfilter in
Konqueror which does not like an element in my images URL of /sponsors/.
If I turn off the adfilter or change the folder name everything is OK.
However,  no indication is given that this is what happened,  thus my
wasted time.

Ideally the filter list should be tightened up.  Alternatively the
defaults should show a placeholder for the removed image so it is clear
what has happened.

Regards

Tony Middleton.
