Rounded corners

If you look at the template code, you'll see that there is currently code in place for rounded corners on the template (like on {{Game}}, {{Object}}, etc), but for some reason that bit of code doesn't express itself and, thus, the corners remain boxy. Any idea why this could be? -- LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 19:09, January 24, 2014 (UTC)

Which part of the corner? It looks rounded to me, albeit slightly. Perhaps because the rounded corner is only 5px? Nikel Talk Vote! 18:32, January 25, 2014 (UTC)
It must be a Firefox issue, because the rounded corners do appear in Chrome. But, that's also confusing considering the code used to make rounded corners on {{Sim}} is the same as the code used to make the rounded corners on other templates - why do other templates appear rounded in Firefox but not {{Sim}}? -- LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 18:52, January 25, 2014 (UTC)
I've checked it with Firefox. It looks fine; it's just the same as Chrome, as well as other similar infoboxes. Nothing peculiar to me. Nikel Talk Vote! 11:00, January 27, 2014 (UTC)

Link to Fanon Neighborhoods

Every time I try to add a link to my Fanon Neighborhood in the Sim Infobox Template for "neighbor", I get an interesting result. If I enter neighbor = [[Fanon:The Genesis Project|]], I get this:

The Genesis Project

[[Category:The Genesis Project Sims (fanon)]]

Is there a way to fix it? I don't know if this template is where it would be fixed, but I would like to find a way because I have been leaving the brackets off which leaves the text as expected, but I would like to have a link to the neighborhood page in my Sims' Infobox.

This was done on purpose. You're not supposed to use a link for the neighbor parameter, and instead you should only add normal text. Fanon namespace, unlike the mainspace, will not link the neighborhood. This is because a lot of fanon Sims live in fanon neighborhoods that don't exist, so instead of bearing redlinks on many fanon Sims, linking is disabled.
I might be able to make a workaround though. Let's see if I can make it. Nikel Talk Vote! 13:14, April 17, 2014 (UTC)
Maybe you could try it now. Nikel Talk Vote! 13:40, April 17, 2014 (UTC)
