- Comment Borders look a little dirty. Otherwise quite nice. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:38, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
- That border was one of the dirtiest I ever dealt with. It's lightyears better than it was, but, after about five hours of working on the border alone, I decided a little dirty was acceptable. =) As you know, I use GIMP; I think Photoshop might have some automations that speed up border-fixing, so if you want to have a look, I'd appreciate it.

- Something's up. Have included what I played with to get the borders (in my mind) a little cleaner. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:51, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
