Whitelist specific ads

Sometimes I'd like to support pages I like... So I would love to enable ads there, but a few ads are too annoying while a few aren't. These should be displayed (whitelisted) and the others blocked.

    You can already do this. If you find the filter that is blocking it (find links to the filters at AdBlock Button > Options > Enable advanced options > Filter Lists tab > "show links to the filter lists [OK!]" at the bottom) then add @@ to the beginning of it in the Customise tab.

    You totally misunderstood me. I want to whitelist SOME ads on SOME pages, not on everypage (which will happen when I remove a filter list). So please reopen this.

    If you read the bit I added when I edited it after accidentally hitting comment (sorry), you will see that says to add in the blocking filter to Options > Customise with an @@ at the beginning.

    I don't get it yet. How can I block a specific ad (using the element ID / class) on a specific page?

    If you can find the filter that is blocking the ad, or a filter that can the ad, you can whitelist it by using putting @@ at the beginning of a custom filter in the big textbox at AdBlock button > Options > Customise
