I cannot figure out where the copy is referencing the old forum. I uploaded tools.php and reset the cookie domain and went through all the cache clearing options. I also changed the url to the development server url in Site Name / URL / Contact Details. I'm not sure what else to do. Can someone please help?

Please excuse this if it seems basic, but I dont know your skill level.

Are you talking about the images within vbulletin like smilies, or gradients etc? Or are you having problems with images such as custom headers etc?

The reason I ask is sometimes the paths to status icons, etc get hardcoded with www.domain.com/images/blah instead of ../images/blah


and so it doesnt matter what your config is set to its going to follow the hard coded paths.
