Revisiting CSS border-image | CSS-Tricks

I’ve used border-image regularly. Yet, it remains one of the most underused CSS tools, and I can’t, for the life of me, figure out why.

There's a way to address this server-side and we think it would likely improve UX. If updating ticker, maybe think about going server-side?
