Found the problem with it not loading, I have some paths hardcoded into templates that I forgot I changed, vbulletin doesn't really care for having things outside of the main forum folder.
Temporary fix:
in headinclude:
change
HTML Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_global.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script>
<if condition="$show['popups']"><script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_menu.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script></if>
to:
HTML Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/forum/clientscript/vbulletin_global.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script>
<if condition="$show['popups']"><script type="text/javascript" src="/forum/clientscript/vbulletin_menu.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script></if>
replacing "/forum/" with whatever folder your forum is in.
