Hi,

I'm using Iron 4.0.280

I've noticed that only first 2500 lines of adblock.ini actually work. Everything written after has no effect.

I can confirm this happens to me too.

After hours of trying to figure out why if I put my own rules at the end of the adblock.ini file they didn't work but they do if I put them in the first lines, I realized this bug as well.

Since fanbdoy's adblock.ini for Iron is way over 2500 lines this is kinda important to fix.

Another issue I discovered is using comments after the initial comment block, for example:

# comment line 1
# comment line 2
adblockline1
adblockline2
# comment line 3

This in fact starts blockings URL's that contain "#" characters in them (which happens frequently) -- apparently the third line is not seen as a comment but as an adblock rule.

does the latest alpha 5.0 version fix this already?

this will be fixed soon!

GREAT! Also a short wiki section about the syntax of adblock.ini would be nice too. Thanks!

Thanks Mr. Smith

ok tested for 10 mins and it works so far. will post more update. by the way 2 questions:
1. will the length of the list affect the mem usage and performance of Iron?
2. does this fix the comment # issue mentioned in other thread?
Again, thanks for the good work

1. Maybe a little...you have to test it for yourself...up to now nobody had problems with a "long list"
2. this will be fixed as next
