My daftness is only further highlighted by your genius!
To answer your question: I mean the view where you are actually reading (participating) in the thread.
UPDATE:
The images are not appearing.
- tried in multiple browsers
- tried with multiple accounts
- tried with relative URLs and Full URLs in the CSS
- added the changes to both postbit and postbit_classic templates
- ensured using proper field ID which, in this case, is 3 (double-checked)
- ensured images uploaded to proper directory ROOT/images/
- there is a 16x16 space that the cursor jumps over in that area now
- tried adding z-index:1 (for the hell of it, no change, so removed, I'm a noob)
-
when I hover over that area, it shows proper title text

After some research I'm positive the problem is in my CSS.
The CSS doesn't jive. I give up.
Going now to pluck the grey hairs I grew while attempting to make this functional.
