Normally I wouldn't consider myself a total newbie, but this problem has been bugging me all night now.

First a quick question, when I choose to copy a template so I can work with it, and keep it after upgrade, where is it copied to?

A now the big thing.
I've been toying around with the akos theme, and the Css file, I've got everything to my liking so far, except for the gaps between comments, the post sections and the borders around comments. Right now i've just set border="1" in the html file, I'd really a simple css border around the comments... just can't figure it out

I've attached an image to clear up any confusion.
Hope you can help me out.

BTW... thanks to the author of this component, it really kicks ass! [img size=750]http://compojoom.com/components/com_agora/img/members/1793/joomcomments.jpg[/img]
