Ads in preview not matching displayed ads.

Anyone else noticing this?

Lately I've been noticing the preview tool just doesn't match the displayed ads very well. It seems especially bad on ads which I want to filter, and thus cannot get the correct URL to filter. Right clicking properties only shows the first 100 or so characters, and with the google string first, more often than not you can't even see most of the actual client URL. I've found many of the nuisance affiliate ads, don't properly reflect the displayed URL either. Anyone have any other idea to get the correct URL with which to filter short of clicking?

With your mouse pointer positioned over the block of ads on your page, right click then click on view source. It should open a notepad window with all the code inside. Search through all that code for each instance of "adurl", and the actual url that you need to filter follows that. All you need to enter in your URL filter list is just the part that equates to "example.com" and you don't even need the "www." part of it. Repeat the process for each adblock that contains something that you want to filter.
