I'm having problems with the custome border graphics working as well. I've tried loading them to the GP file manager and to a myfilestash.com account.  In both cases I get the preview, however, in neither case does it actually populate the images across the site.

Any suggestions...?

I know this is late but I thought I would add some HTML for people who wanted customized boxes.

<table width=100% border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
  <tr>
    <td> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
        <tr>
          <tdwidth=75><imgsrc="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v138/heralds/CT/box_borders/box_border_01.gif"width=25 height=25 alt=""></td>

OK.. not sure what you guys do to set up your borders, or if you're using the built in paste your links for the areas stuff.. but.. the way that I create my borders so that they scale etc is... (Need an HTML program such as Frontpage, or Dreamweaver etc)

For the center section.. so it scales, (Not a fixed value)..

Set up a simple 3 row by 1 column table, and set the width to 100%.. use a % value so that it will scale horisontaly..

In the first row.. create a second table.. this table will be 1 row by 3 columns.. now.. adjust the first and third cell of this table to be the exact dimention of your corner images.. set the background-image for these cells to be your corner images.. for the middle section.. you want to set it so that the hight has a value, but the width has no value.. this way it will scale.. set the background image for the middle sell to be the top of your border image.. this must be an image that will repeat seamlessly..

You can add your $block[title] tag to this cell if you wish and format it for your title for the boximage.. by adding the css tag, or even just manually formatting.. either will work..

Follow these steps for the 2nd row.. insert a 1x3 table again, but make it so that the first and third cell of these are the width of your side images.. do not enter a hight value as it will need to scale vertically.. the center cell will be your area for the $block[content] tag..

Bottom row.. insert a 1x3 table again, and use the same formatting you did for the top replacing the links for your bottom border images..

When I create these, I do it visually in dreamweaver, then I copy and paste the HTML into the "Custom HTML" section for content containters..

Feel free to check my site to see the final result..

Anyhow.. here's the HTML code for my center container, and the steps above are exactly what you see below:

<table width="100%"  border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td><table width="100%"  border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="182" height="52" background="http://topleft.gif">&nbsp;</td>
    <td height="52" align="center" valign="middle" background="http://topcent.gif" class="ContentBoxTitle">$block[title]</td>
    <td width="192" height="52" background="http://topright.gif">&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
</table>
</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><table width="100%"  border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="19" background="http://left.gif">&nbsp;</td>
    <td bgcolor="#000000" class="ContentBoxBody">&nbsp;$block[content]&nbsp;</td>
    <td width="19" background="http://right.gif">&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
</table>
</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><table width="100%"  border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="182" height="52" background="http://bottomleft.gif">&nbsp;</td>
    <td background="http://bottomcent.gif">&nbsp;</td>
    <td width="192" height="52" background="http://bottomright.gif">&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
</table>
</td>
  </tr>
</table>
