Ghostery foils Maclegion.com

Ghostery is a great idea, but it renders maclegion.com unusable (can't use the log in or sign up links). Except for one feature on my banking site, Ghostery doesn't cause problems with other sites.

    Hi damack.3,

    If you have blocking enabled, sometimes you will block something that is required for some part of the site to function properly.

    This could be because a piece of (let's say) analytics code has gotten integrated too closely into, perhaps, a picture slideshow or a next page link. Or this could happen because the comments box you want to use is powered by Disqus, which you marked to get blocked. Another example of this would be Tweet buttons, which require Twitter to be present.

    Try unblocking some of the "bugs" on the page that has problems, or adding the entire page to Ghostery's list of sites exempt from blocking.

    In this case, the culprit appears to be Facebook Connect. A future release of Ghostery will provide "surrogate" code that hopefully will eliminate the problem.
