Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Import External Images

This vBulletin 4 product imports external images in your posts from external servers or paths into a specific path, normally your forum's image folder.

Differently than the previous product Image Cache for vBulletin 3.x., it parses the posts at regular intervals for new images and replaces the external references in the background. Also, instead of using only a single folder, it creates folders for years and months, making it much easier to handle large quantities of images. The source and destination image URL's are stored into database, too, avoiding unnecessary duplicates.

It moves and optionally converts images from one place to another. It is a handy tool in order to keep your images local to your forums.

Version 1.0.4 is temporarily in BETA stage until the users have confirmed the newly requested features.
Version 1.0.5 is still in BETA stage. It adds a new bunch of additional features, one of which allows you to test your mathematical understanding ... and a few other to fine-tune CURL and socket timeouts, and resizing on the fly of too large images. If you don't know what these options do, please leave them at their default values.

I don't know. Maybe your hosting does not allow external URL's to get imported.

How can you tell if this is the case, because this mod worked prefect for us. But know it does nothing.

oh well, i guessed

did you check the permissions? during upload maybe something has changed. if Apache can't access the import folders, nothing happens.

well simply said, the flders you are using for importing the images must have read/write permissions for the web server (chmod 755 or 777 depending on the server settings) and must be owned by the web process. If you haven't changed these settings during the upgrade process, it should work. However if it isn't you will have to ask somebody to look into it more closely.
