As a general rule, to maximise chances of acceptance, please refrain from including borders and titles. You may well find examples of bordered and titled images in the gallery, but some are less obtrusive than others. As I say, it is safest to leave them out altogether.

Thanks Matt I do appreciate all the work that goes in and raising these issues is not meant in any way to be disrespectful: I'll play it safe in future. I think you'll agree that a vast proportion of my gallery shows that I wasn't questioning the policy for the sake of a one off incident.
