I work a lot on AltHistory Wiki, and we use a lot of flags. I was able to use the "border" option on files to allow flags with similar coloring to the background be more notable. For example below, the flag of Japan is white with a red circle. Without the border, it only looks like a circle.

However, the border option has not been working since the new look has become standard. Here is an example:

[[File:Flag of Japan.svg|30px|Flag without a border]]

[[File:Flag of Japan.svg|30px|border|Flag with border.]]

No border
Border?

As you can see, the border does not show itself when I type it into the code. Why was this setting removed? Was it left out by accident? How do I get them back? --NuclearVacuum (Talk) 16:07, November 30, 2010 (UTC)

• If it helps, I can see them fine using Monobook. Nayayen—TALK 17:38, November 30, 2010 (UTC)

I would report this as a bug to Special:Contact. The border appears to render in the RTE, but not normally which is strange. I found a workaround by adding the following to Special:MyPage/wikia.css:

.thumbborder {
    border:1px solid #888;
}

You could also add that to your MediaWiki:Wikia.css after you've tested that it works on your personal wikia.css. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 11:05 PM PST 30 Nov 2010

Thank you so much. That code seems to help out a lot. I have already attempted to contact someone about it, but after trying two or five times, I still haven't gotten a reply. But what about this bug? Shouldn't this be a standard for all wikis? --NuclearVacuum (Talk) 16:12, December 1, 2010 (UTC)
