Hello, all!
Yes, I'm aware of the issue with images. I'm researching it, but don't have as much time as I'd like to do that. It may be tomorrow before I know what's going on and how to resolve it.
Eric
Thanks to all of those who responded to the poll! As you can see, most people want no limit on the dates for magazine covers. Although you will see the option for magazines from Pre-1900 to 2010 when submitting full magazines, please do NOT post any magazines for years after 1974. There are legal reasons for that and quite frankly, magazines published from that point on tend to get raunchy. I don't like them for the most part. This site is about the Golden Age of girlie magazines, which pretty much ended about that time.
Anyway, if you have magazine COVERS to add up to the present day, please feel free to share and enjoy.
Regards,
Eric
I've been thinking lately about expanding the matrix publication dates. (Just the magazine covers, not the complete magazines. There are a number of legal issues that make it difficult to post whole magazines that are less than 35 years old. Also, I personally find most magazines after 1974 to be more and more raunchy as time goes on. That's my personal taste, but one I really kind of enforce here.) Currently, I encourage magazine covers between 1940 and 1974. I'm willing, in the spirit of completeness, to expanded the covers as far back as 1900 and as far forward as today. But I'd really like the opinion of everyone here. What are your thoughts? There's a poll, but comments are also encouraged.
Ok, things are in place. Everyone who is currently a member has the same access as before. Everyone who signs up as a new user... Well... You can do the same thing as anonymous users. That means that you can still see everything and still download magazines. You just can't post comments or in the Forums. You can't create anything. If you want to do more, send me a private message here and I'll grant access if I'm convinced you're not a spammer.
More to follow later...

I hate spammers.
I've deleted three comments this week that contained nothing but spam. For the moment, new users must be approved by me when they apply for membership. That will suffice until I have time to set up safeguards. Once I have them in place, new users will be registered automatically, but will not be able to do anything until they request the ability to do so. That MAY include asking new users for a credit card number. (They wouldn't be charged anything, but it would put a dead stop to spammers.)
I've seen too many good websites overrun with spam. The newest trick is to hire people to join websites for the sole purpose of spamming. This trick bypasses CAPTCHA because the spammer isn't a computer that can't see a CAPTCHA; it's a live person who can answer questions, thereby thwarting the CAPTCHA process. I won't tolerate even one single spam message on my websites. I don't want or need them and neither do you.
Take care, my friends!

Hi, gang!
Just a few words, covering some updates and a policy change.
First, the policy change:
As much as I love posting info about each new magazine on the front page, I'm probably going to stop doing it for awhile. My time is extremely limited these days and I'm so far behind that I can't possibly catch up in the foreseeable future. Sorry about that.
Next, the magazines:
I've been somewhat remiss in reposting some of the stuff that I posted years ago on this website. I've corrected that by uploading a few from the grooveyard of forgotten favorites. Most old-time users will recognize them and probably already have them in their collections. Hopefully, with the large number of new users and people who just stop by, some of these will be new to someone out there. To be honest, it's been awhile since I've seen some of them and it's nice to see them posted again. Enjoy!
Again, thanks to everyone who so generously upload around here. Waw5114, Darwin, Cyber Sleuth, thebigtc... Gosh, I'm missing a few and I'm sorry, but all contributions are appreciated, be they magazines, covers, models, forum posts, or just logging in. You guys are the best!
Regards,
Eric
Hey, it's Friday... Time for a new theme! :)
Seriously, I came across this one and felt it has an old-time magazine/paper content feel to it, so I thought it would work. What do you think? I think it makes the site look less "busy". I think it detracts less from the magazines. But what do you guys think? Your input is appreciated.
I've been working quite a bit behind the scenes to complete The Publishers in the Matrix. At this point, aside from a few magazines with unknown publishers, every magazine on this site is indexed and in its proper place under Publishers. Now when you click on a link to a publisher (from the box that appears on the left at various points in the site), it will take you to a page listing magazines from that publisher. These pages are different than before. If more info is available, it will show on the page. Among that info is:
Also, when it lists magazines, it will only show one magazine for a title on the publisher page. Click on that, and it will take you to a new page that shows all of the issues for the title. For example, instead of listing every issue of Adam on the Knight Publications page, it will show you one issue of Adam that links to the complete list. This allows you to see at a glance which titles a publisher produced.
As the site grows, and more information is made available, I'm trying to keep things organized and presented in an appealing way. I appreciate all the many contributions that all of you have provided and encourage you to contribute what you can, be it a full issue, a cover, an article, a post, etc. The site is growing rapidly and I'm in awe of all that you do here. Thank you all!

I finally got some free time and designed a logo that I'm MUCH happier with. It has a very "late 50's-early 60's" feel to it, which is what I was aiming for. Jackie (Jocelyn) Lane was never lovelier! LOL.
Now would be the time to say something about Miss Lane. She was an Elvis girl, appearing with the King in one of his lesser films, "Tickle Me". She was born Jocelyn Lane, but started her modelling career as Jackie Lane. She soon changed it back to Jocelyn to avoid confusion with another British actress named Jackie Lane who was a supporting character on Doctor Who in the 60's. In 1971 she married Prince Alfonso of Hohenlohe-Langenburg of Marbella, Spain and retired from acting and modelling. The picture we see here was taken when she was 20 years old.
I decided to spruce up the logo a bit. The current one is NOT the one I'll stick with, but if anyone wants to contribute a logo, it would be much appreciated... Here are the requirements:
If anyone feels the urge to be creative, please feel free to make something up. Otherwise, I'll come up with something myself. I just thought someone with more creativity could do better than me.
