Author Why won't Adblock block this image?

See http://www.bastardly.com

Right there, right there at the top. Who the heck is that, Frank Zappa?
The file is located at
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...brickheader.jpg
so maybe it's somebody named Kubrick, I dunno.

Adblock sees it just fine, as a blockable background image, and it
appears italicized in the list, so it thinks it's blocked it. But it's
still there, and I'm damned sick of those eyeballs.

I've tried referencing it six ways from Tuesday, even using a wildcard,
as so:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...mages/kubrick/*
and http://www.bastardly.com/kubrick/*

But it's still there! AARRGGH!

Anyone know why?

if you're using the old and outdated adblock, then ask your
question here: http://adblock.mozdev.org/forum.html/no_wrap

if you're using adblock plus, then try asking here:

Just tried it and it's blocked just fine? Using Adblock Plus 0.7.5.1
Did you try a forced refresh (Refresh with Shift button hold)? Maybe you
still see it because it is in FF cache?

Thanks guys! I updated my ABP version and cleared my cache, and now
