Okay, I've retained my Main CSS body value, and worked out some DIV syntax to address this in another way. The DIV should place the links wherever I want them to appear, and the background operates independently.
My current challenge is determining which vBulletin template to place this code. I got it working in a standard html test, but in vB the links don't appear in the right places, and they overlap with one another. So far I've dropped the code into the header or headinclude templates with identical results.
Anyone have pointers?
(The following text links will be removed after verifying correct placement).
