Can anyone identify this revolver?

Doing some digging I'm pretty sure it's an M1917 revolver with pearl grips. Anyone else think so? --Crackshot (talk) 12:02, 14 February 2013 (EST)

New AD space

Just letting you know that there are a few problems I've noticed with the new ad space in the upper right --Ben41 (talk) 19:52, 25 January 2013 (EST):

1. When looking at differences in revisions, the edits seen on the right are blocked by the new ad space.

2. In pages that don't have infoboxes, the ad space pushes down the poster picture, making it appear that the ad is part of the movie page. This is noticeable in actor pages and non-infobox pages.

Thanks for informing. I did notice something odd on pages I created (both with and without infoboxes) but I could not figure out what. Should we do something or can will this be solved automatically? Cheers, --PeeWee055 (talk) 08:07, 26 January 2013 (EST)
This is being tested, so if there are any other problems, please let us know. --Ben41 (talk) 08:17, 26 January 2013 (EST)

Here are some examples of what happens with the non-infobox pages.

Dynamic Article List

I've temporarily disabled dynamic article list while trying to track down a cpu spike. --bunni (talk) 19:45, 27 January 2013 (EST)

Weird image links

I know it's not a biggie for some people, but I like to enlarge some images and I found these a week or so ago:

They redirect to the Main Page inexplicably. There was a third one I found but I can't remember which one it was now. I'm not sure what's up with them but I thought I'd let you guys know. Thanks in advance - --Taurus96 (talk) 10:23, 29 January 2013 (EST)

The third was probably the claymore mine image, which I re-uploaded and it started working again. Might work with those two as well, I'll give it a try tomorrow if nobody else does it before me. Evil Tim (talk) 10:32, 29 January 2013 (EST)

This image is broken too. It appears on the image page, but when you open it as full size it redirects to the main page. I can't find that MP5KA1 image I uploaded again, so if it can't be fixed will have to settle for uploading the 400px thumbnail version which the server still has. --commando552 (talk) 18:31, 29 January 2013 (EST)

Oh, yeah, this was the third one lol: http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/File:P5Wood.jpg Thanks for getting back to me so fast :D --Taurus96 (talk) 15:04, 30 January 2013 (EST)

Trivia Page?

I wondered if there was a Trivia Page on IMFDB, or if there should be one? I'd like to know things like: "Most Common Firearm" "Youngest Actor/Actress To Hold A Firearm" "Most Firearms Used By An Actor/Actress" "Most Firearms Used In A Film". Obviously, the answers would be according to IMFDB's current pages. Thomas (talk) 15:32, 31 January 2013 (EST)

That kind of thing would be bit difficult to compile, and I don't know how many people would go out of their way to at a dedicated trivia page. The trivia section on the front page fulfills a similar purpose, in much more visible place. If you have any trivia to suggest, however, please let us know. --Funkychinaman (talk) 19:18, 31 January 2013 (EST)

Position of infobox on page

It's probably too simple for words, but I just cannot get my infoboxes positioned on the right side of the page. I have only started to use infoboxes for my last two movie pages (The Preacher & The Heineken Kidnapping) and even though I seem to be using the correct coding the infoboxes keep hanging somewhat in the middle of the page. Any suggestions for an infobox-rookie? Thanks in advance, --PeeWee055 (talk) 17:18, 27 February 2013 (EST)

It looks okay to me. Is there an ad pushing it towards the middle? --Funkychinaman (talk) 17:30, 27 February 2013 (EST)
