Hi,

I've been searching and reading on the forum on and off over the last few hours but I remain unable to solve my problem. I've tried every permutation I can think of but no matter where I put my custom rank graphics the rank file path is always wrong according to the user rank manager. I may have compounded the problem in that I appear to have installed vbulletin to /public_html/forum and also to /www/forum but even by putting my rank graphics into every possible /images/ranks folder available I end up with the same result of 'invalid File Path Specified'. I can make new folders and put the graphics in there before pointing the user rank manager at the location but it makes no difference.

I performed a test by renaming and replacing the 'vbulletin' graphic on the forum with one of my own. This worked perfectly and enabled me to see which of the forum installations was being read but as I said, the result of placing my rank graphics into the images/ranks or indeed any other folder within that installation was the same: 'invalid File Path Specified'...

Does having a double installation of vbulletin affect my security at all? If I rename the name of either of the forum folders my forum dies until I enter the correct name so they seem to be interacting with each other. I'd really appreciate some help.
