Bug#496571: konqueror: configures javascript incorrectly for sourceforge.net domain
Alan,
I can get the content part of the site (the menus, etc) to work by adding your
policy for static.sourceforge.net (looking at the page source, this is where
they keep their javascript). The ads are a harder problem. I'm not sure
that you need them, but if you do, you need to at least ad an Accept policy
for ads.doubleclick.net. That still doesn't make them all show up -
apparently doubleclick writes some more <script> tags for different ad
services (google adsense, triblefusion, etc), so you would also need to add
Accept policies for all of those ad servers. Note that this would make the
ads show up on any page with ads from those servers.
