 ** Rotations on the skeleton head node will likely be wrong; copy the original values from your prior NIF
 ** NiSkinData bone lists will have bad transforms on the head bone; set translation to zero and rotation to the inverse of the skeleton node's rotation
-*** The bounding spheres will need to be corrected as well. NifSkope should preview each node's bounding sphere as a grey circle: it should encompass all vertices associated with that node. The values from your original NIF will make a good starting point, and may not even need further editing.
+*** The bounding spheres will need to be corrected as well. NifSkope should preview each node's bounding sphere as a grey circle when the Bone List entry is selected (but not when its contained data is selected): the sphere should encompass all vertices associated with that node when you rotate the camera and swing it around. The values from your original NIF will make a good starting point, and may not even need further editing.
 ** As with the Blender 2.49b-only process, Fallout 3 bone names are in use. Change them back to SBP_31_HAIR.
 ** Vertex colors may (only sometimes??) be exported incorrectly (converted to all white), and this is significant in that it will cause you to lose your alpha even with a NiAlphaProperty. I'm not sure how to address this at this time.
