"*.gif" by itself doesn't work?

"*.gif" by itself doesn't work?

Just wondering are you intending to block all pictures or just gif files?
If the later, you could just get your browser to not show them.

You might try one of the Proxo forums. Most can be found on links from

The standard image-kill filters use this as the bounds: <i(mg|mage|nput)*>

That should give you a clue.

Proxomitron works 'top down' - so if there's anything that lets an
image through, your filter won't work on it. Always worth checking to
see if there's any previous html that might compromise your filter.

That, and the tip posted earlier about the formatting of the image tag
should go some way to troubleshooting your filter.
