 * When using the Staff Directory plugin, and the native popup functionality, the
   X in the top right shows as a broken image.
 * When you right click on the image it shows this:
 * `<a href="#" id="TB_closeWindowButton" title="Close"><img src="../wp-includes/
   js/thickbox/tb-close.png"></a>`
 * Opening that broken image in a new tab goes to:
 * [http://example.com/about-us/staff/wp-includes/js/thickbox/tb-close.png](http://example.com/about-us/staff/wp-includes/js/thickbox/tb-close.png)
 * So clearly, the problem being in the thickbox source, those two periods should
   be removed so that it always looks for the image at the top directory and not
   in sub directories. However, it appears that code is in the /wp-includes/js/thickbox.
   js, in which I removed the two periods and it does work, but that is core code
   correct? Meaning it could be overrwritten at any time?
 * Assuming this is a WordPress bug, that would mean the X isn’t showing up for 
   anyone who uses thickbox on a sub page no?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * This has been fixed in version 2.5.2 – thanks for the feedback. The new version
   should be available in the next hour.
