thanks for your replies. I'm using 3.07 but upgraded to 3.010. I have tried installing some mods but havent worked such as a video capcha and some anti spam mod which was so complicated I ditched it after I realised I hadn't a clue how to work it. I'll certainly try the q & a and also the recent...

Technical advice from the forum mods please

Hi hope this isn't too much of a naff question and too far off topic but as a web developer I have been asked to set up a forum for a local gaming fraternity. I have set up a phpBB forum before for a disability rights organisation and found that the spam is crushing to say the least. I wanted to ask...

I'm thinking of doing my own cover / remix of Alice but swapping every instance of "Alice" with "Alan".

Alan, don't give it away!!!!

Well it made me laugh anyway.

Nouvelle Vague's Marian is the only one I've heard that is good. It's different, rather laidback Sunday cafe sort of mood - great. Brothers Of Mercy's Alice and Temple on the other hand is very poor and I like techno! Got that one on vinyl I'm hoping it gains some rarety value some day

I've got this book somewhere, it came with a 7" with ghost rider on one side, not sure about the other. There was another bigger book which was much better, had loads of old NME / Sounds / Melody Maker adverts, interviews tour listings etc. I'll have to dig it out

http://www.chriscannon.co.uk/caslon.jpg There's not much in it but it's subtler and more or less the exact same as what was originally used on record artwork, compared to the free caslon antique and casablanca antique as well as caslon antique VL and EF pay for fonts. I've still yet to do lower cas...

lol nice replies. Might have to come here more often. In response to whether there is much difference. No there isn't really, but me being a long long time fan of both records and artwork and being a designer means there is enough of a difference. I'm happy to pay for it but really don't think it ex...

From that thread: you can also try this one thanks but that one also doesn't match up to the Caslon Antique typeface used on the Sisters artwork. Maybe it doesn't exist as undoubtedly the sisters covers were put together before computers were really used for design. I've got a sheet of letraset whe...

Caslon Antique

Hi guys, does anyone know where I can get a better version of Caslon Antique typeface from? I've searched everywhere and just keep turning up the same one which is inferior to the one The Sisters of Mercy used on all of their artwork. The one that seems to be floating around the net is slightly roug...
