Web Protection not blocking new URLs

JimmyM
I'm trying to block access to Facebook

If I add the following line to the "Block these URL/Sites" --> Regular Expressions
^https?://([A-Za-z0-9.-]*\.)?ivillage\.com/

I get the warning that the site has been blocked when I browse to http://www.ivillage.com

However, if I add these... (I found several variations in the forums)
^https?://([A-Za-z0-9.-]*\.)?facebook\.com/
^https?://([A-Za-z0-9.-]\.)*facebook\.com/
^https?://([A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.)?facebook\.com/

I can still access https://www.facebook.com

Why?

    Yes, you'll also want to import it via MMC into the computer to avoid difficulties with updates that don't use the browser.

    On the 'Advanced' tab, the 'Transparent Mode Skiplist' applies only in Transparent mode.  The 'Allowed target services' only apply when in a Standard mode.

    Cheers - Bob
