http://www.mysite.com/upload/images/icons/icon1.gif

changed to

http://www.mynewsite.com/upload/images/icons/icon1.gif

but the link still directs to

http://www.mysite.com/upload/images/icons/icon1.gif

I tried to repair/optimize, etc...
how is this pointing to an OLD DOMAIN of a site currently owned by someone else? I do not have mysite.com listed "Anywhere" in my admincp

Look in the StyleVars. They are located in the Style Manager, in the dropdown next to the style's name.

admincp --> Post Icons --> Post Icon Manager --> Edit your icons and make sure they are not hard coded to your old domain.

The paths should look as so, with no domain name:
images/icons/icon1.gif

Some custom styles need the domain part because of coding issues, if the image doesn't work afterward on the site, add the domain part back to the image path.
