Base URL doesn't play nicely with subdomains?

[Lynne]

Oh, I know how I can add either /forums or $vboptions[bburl]/ in front of the link, but I was hoping to avoid that. Here is the thread where I brought this up before in response to someone else's question - Chdir/$vbulletin->options['homeurl'] trouble. The OP talks about how he has to change his navbar links (in post 1 & 5), I respond saying I have the same setup and I have to do that also (post 3), and then Dismounted talks about using the base tag instead (in post 6). But, as I said in my first post, instead of the links going to my test site (like the hover url says they will), it is going to my live site. The only thing I can think of is that my test site is setup as a subdomain.
