Hello, I have just transferred my forum from one host to another, I have an issue though.

It is attempting to load the images from "ww2.urbangamers.org/forum/images/" that directory no longer exists as it's an old host AND domain. How would I go about making it load images from my new directory?

Also, a bit off-topic but any tips on keeping spam out without using a captcha system? I have some questions setup but they don't seem to be keeping the bots out.

I assume you are storing the images in the filesystem? If so, make sure the directory path is correct in Attachments > Attachment Storage Type. If that path is from someone actually typing the path into the post, then you would need to actually do a query on the post table to change that path to the new one.

It's telling me: "Attachments are currently being stored in the database"
(I have just changed databases and have imported the database into my new host)

Here is a picture of my forum atm:

Ah, I thought you meant attachments, not the actual images on the forum. Check your StyleVars > ImagePaths

If that was the issue wouldn't my default theme work perfectly fine? It doesn't, it's also having the issue. Ugh, this is quite annoying.

I forgot to note that I'm using a theme I bought from purevb.com - could this possibly the issue? I'm going to wait for them to change my domains and re-install the theme in hope it fixes the issue.

They're all set to "images/statusicon" ect. No url's.
