Does the "Gunny" Ad just bug me?

[sadiesassy]

I have never seen the ad - Just looked at it is not there
I must be lucky

 

[rufus]

I too have never seen it.

Try running Firefox with NoScript, it stops all kinds of unwanted things.

Adblock Plus works for me, I never see it, in fact I've never even seen it in all the time I've been here.

I've never seen it..

This may be a hijack, but with Gunny named, maybe not. Best R. Lee Ermey movie is NOT Full Metal Jacket. It is "The Siege at Firebase Gloria". Gunny in ACTION! Might be the best Vietnam movie ever made, with due consideration to "Go Tell It To the Spartans" (Burt Lancaster), and more recently, "We Were Soldiers". "Siege" and "Spartans" take an exit off the freeway of any other movies about Vietnam. It is an exit that hits the dirt road, and ya better have chains if ya wanna get out. "Siege" cannot be found on DVD, and VHS copies are being snagged up like M & M's. Get it. Watch it. Gunny at his very best. Vietnam at its guttural real.

Hmmm. The Siege at Firebase Gloria is listed on Netflix, but as availability unknown so it doesn't look promising there.

We Were Soldiers is in my permanent DVD collection.

Only think that bothers me is gunny promoting glocks. He looks more like a 1911 guy.......

Glocks are so ugly they could be a modern art masterpiece!

They are meant to be seen only by people who are about to be dead. What do I care about them, LOL?

I thought his best movie was "Saving Silverman", followed by "Texas Chainsaw Massacre".

If you make your screen picture (I don't know the technical term) smaller, the ad moves up and out of the way of the site navigation bar.

 

[Gunner3456]

Actually, if you drag your mouse over some of those ads from top to bottom, they do greatly expand and cover the menu bar. The trick is to approach the menu bar from below with the mouse and never touch the ad, at least for me.

I see these ads, but they are above the nav bar and do not expand. Since people are having different experiences with these ads, I think it may be a screen size or font setting of their device. Just guessing, though.

Try hitting the "CTRL" key while hitting the "+" key twice, that what it takes to move the banner form OVER the bar to on TOP of the bar. I'm using a netbook with about a 9" screen so I probably have the screen "blown up" a little more than others.

 

[Zepoll]

Bugs me too. Hate it when it covers the forum tabs.

 

[boxer13]

Adblock Plus FTW

 

[Gunner3456]

What I'm seeing is a couple of ads which truly expand downward when you mouse over them. They about double in height and expose more ad. When they do that, they cover the forum radio buttons. This is not a screen setting, it's an active ad. If I go lower on the screen and click on a blank spot, they shrink back to size.

The next time I get one of those ads, I'll take a couple of screen shots and post them.

Here's what it does on an iPad... Can't do much of anything until you get to a page with a different ad, Gunny blocks nearly the entire menu.

Thanks for the review, never heard of it.. used VHS at amazon are going for $20 so it must be a real cult flick

Chuck Taylor was too until he torture tested a G17 :gun10:

Ditto that it is the only ad that I have seen here that blocks navigation. It also does not have a courtesy "close" button to reduce the take over ad ... but then didn't really expect any courtesy from Gunny.
Bad news for NWF - I can't get to the navigation - I go elsewhere. Go from favorite bookmark to next bookmark.

 

[cowboygraphics]

Additional detail. Other banner ads are positioned above the navigation and I have clicked on many in the past. The Glock/Gunny one appears to be coded incorrectly for placement as it falls across the navigation. Experience it on Desktop PC, Laptop and iPhone ... where I have NWF bookmarked.
