Any idea what might be wrong? Images were saved into my folder but their path on the forum still looks like this: "http://domain.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4198&d=148567094". I expect something like domain.com/path/blabla.jpg.

I tried updating thread unformation etc.
Any ideas?

Did you rebuild attachments?

How? There is only an option to rebuild thumbnails AFAIK.

Can you link us to an example post with attachments?

Well, I could, but I don't really want to share my forum URL :D

I just backed up my DB and it has just few megabytes - it had about 100 MB when images were being stored in the database.

So I guess that vBulletin is retrieving the images from files but they are still being rendered by a PHP script, right?

That's right. There are still some things that have to be handled by a php script, like permission checks and the "lighbox" display.
