I'm looking for a site that sells replica U-boat cap badges (tin/enamel) eg: Laughing Swordfish, Black Cat, Flotillas etc.

I used to have a site bookmarked from Germany and one from the UK but appear to have lost them.

Any info gratefully accepted :up:

I don't have a clue Jim :p

But I need your help on installing SH-4 Gold on Vista. :yep:

I started a thread and saw yours . And thought this is a good way to get hold of you. :D

Can you help me on my thread ?

In the meantime I'll search for what you need.

Btw the cold ones are on me. :p

p.s. You need to keep better track of your toys.:rotfl:

I don't use Vista myself (XP Pro here at my end).

All I can suggest is what we at GWX advise with our mod.....Right-click the “.exe” file and select “Run as administrator”

All I can suggest is what we at GWX advise with our mod.....Right-click the “.exe” file and select “Run as administrator”How come your writing always shows up mostly invisible?

This is what I see:

hold a lighter to the monitor, that's how you see the invisible ink. (that's what my spy book said anyway)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invisible_ink

wiki says to place an iron on your monitor to see the font.

Kpt. Lehmann is already booked.

I'm not 100% sure yet.....I'm about 95%

If TarJak and Privateer or either of them say they can make it, that'll make me 100%

I sure want to come.

I'll let you know as and when the other guys circumstances unfold.

I'd be more than happy to purchase some of those decals mind :up:

I've absolutely no idea mate.

I'm using the default forum skin.

I've just tried the others and my text still appears visible....at least to me anyway.

Is anybody else experiencing this phenonema in my messages ? :hmm:
