I just started using Ghostery with SeaMonkey 2.9 (equivalent to Firefox 12) and AdBlock Plus. When I go to autoblog.com and view any story, I see its comments. AOL's comment system hides replies to comments if there are more than two, with a "NN replies to person's comment" dummy link that shows them if you click it.
But with Ghostery on, nothing happens when you click this. Presumably some JavaScript has been blocked that inserts itself to handle clicking on class="toggle-link" items. But Ghostery is only detecting and disabling Advertising.com's adserv code and an Adswrapper.js hosted on AOL, and an Omniture script, I doubt this code lives in any of that.
I notice a few JavaScript errors from the page, "adSetType is not defined", presumably because the main page is calling a function in one of these that has been blocked. Could that JavaScript error prevent unrelated JavaScript from running? If so, that would suck, I'd have to enable tracking because AOL's pages break if you don't; presumably many site will start doing this if Ghostery is widely used.

Can't show hidden comments on autoblog.com

Hi skier, thanks for using Ghostery.
I'll take a look at the specifics of the commenting issue on autoblog. The adSetType and similar calls are from advertising.com's ad placement mechanism, and as such, I did not deem that a surrogate was needed, those errors are harmless at all places I've seen them occur, tho, again, I will check autoblogs case.Comment -
