The Official "Issues List" —Nelson Yrizarry

In my 'Status Report" post, I mentioned: (...) The issues list is now posted on the (URL) sidebar.

Regarding more issues, one thing I don't see on the list that I'd like to is the poor representations of rendered box art and instructions, e.g. when you (...)

Re: The Official "Issues List" —Marc Nelson Jr.
