Active Information is Complex Specified Information
-
Complex specified information is a general classification. Active information is a more specific class of CSI. It's a nested hierarchy thing- {CSI{active information}}. Perhaps that is what confuses evoTARDs who say that active information has replaced CSI.
The specification paper (Dembski 2005) was a supplement to CSI, and does not supersede it. Algorithmic specified complexity is a way to quantify any given specification. In that sense it seems to supersede or at least supplement that 2005 paper which used only probabilities to try to quantify specification.

Can you give examples of each type to illustrate the difference? Thanks.

You want examples of each type of evoTARD? Or of each type of evoTARD confusion?
