Yeah, that is the file. I was wonder about the line making the admin a super admin.
$config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] = 'xx';

I don't think that's your problem. You may want to do a search over on vb.com cuz I know I saw this come up once before but I don't recall what the problem was. I would recommend trying these two things also:

Create a new style with no parent - Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Add New Style > no parent - then browse the site using that totally default vbulletin style - do you still have the same problem?

If it is still happening, then try disabling your plugins and see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

PHP Code:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);
