We recently bought a domain name for our forum, so for the first few weeks it was running off of a different domain.

Today we bought the domain, i had moved all the VB files into the 'forum' directory.

So it used to look like this:
Domain1.com/az/forum

changed to this

Newdomain.com/forum

everything works fine, no images show up. Forum icons, smilies, admin cp, etc. I had changed in the Admin CP -> Site name / URL / Contact Details the Forum URL and Homepage URL and no images work (from what i have read? thats all you needed to change..)

The image folders are there, with images inside them, etc. Any help would be amazing!

It depends on if you had also changed the stylevars - look in Style Manager > stylevar > imagepaths and make sure those are correct.

smilie paths may be defined in the Smilie Manager. And Post Icons paths may be defined int he Post Icons Manager.

They are all "images/attach" etc

I've tried changing the downloaded theme to "forum/images/attach" etc and that didnt work, same with doing the absolute url..

Maybe the default one has to work before the downloaded one? THe downloaded one is pretty much playing off of the default..

If I look up the URL for lets say the header image, its "images/misc/vbulletin4_logo.png" and thats whats in the imagepaths

Edit -- intresting...Its showing "Domain.com/images/misc/vbulletin4_logo.png" NOT "domain.com/forums/images/misc/vbulletin4_logo.png

Can we get a link to the forum?

images/attach sound like attachments, not the style images. The path for attachments is set in the attachment manager.

It is looking for your status icon here - http://thearizonagarage.com/forum/images/statusicon/forum_old-48.png That is the correct path for those images. Where do you have that status icon?

I get a 302 error going to that image saying the image has moved to... http://thearizonagarage.com/forum/images/statusicon/forum_old-48.png which is the same url. You have some sort of redirection going on that is incorrect.

Yeah..I spoke to soon..

This is directly from FTP:
.esfvisions.com/az/forum/images/statusicon/forum_new-48.png

The one thing i'm thinking about..Is that the forum was installed on the esfvisions.com/az directory..but changed to a different domain name, just pointed to the /az folder..

Hotlink protection maybe? I'll check that now...

Edit- Nope..Tried adding thearizonagarage.com url and it still wont load..

I would check your htaccess files or any other file where you may have a redirect.

Yeah, I'm talking to my support for my hosting..I wouldn't be shocked if its something they have to fix..

I DO have a redicrection from esfvisions.com/az that'll send them to thearizonagarage.com/forum...But i tried removing that and it didnt do anything.

I'm being told, that since we switched the namesevers today (8/27/11) it'll take some time for images to load? Makes sense..but i'm still skeptical..

Well I lied..Wordpress install..works fine. Images load

Now, at the image url, instead of getting a redirect, I am being told:
http://thearizonagarage.com/forum/images/statusicon/forum_old-48.png

So, make sure you uploaded all the images in binary mode. Try reuploading them and see if you still have the same problem.

Doing that now..I have uploaded them many times in ASCII or whatever the other one is..I have also did a FRESH install into another directory and had the same issues, but uploaded it all in ASCII..I'm crossing my figures it'll work in binary.

Lynne, you are an absolute internet godsend. I am forever in your debt!

I have been working on this from 9:30am till about now, and its 5:12pm. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

However, the header image doesn't load, but it looks like its in a different area and i'll fix that! Thank you!

I'm glad you got it working. I do see the header image right now, so you must have gotten that figured out too. :)
