    Paths for images thrown off

    All of my images are pointing to http://www.mysite.com/images when I need it to point to http://mysite.com/images. How do I change it so everything is going to the right URL?

    When I first installed, I pointed it to www.mysite, but I changed all that inside the admincp thinking it would fix the image problem. It didn't.

    Also in the Calendar, is it a way to turn off the Add New Event block? Or at least make it not visible based off group permissions? I would also like to turn off the 2 blocks showing the upcomming months while in monthly view. Can I turn those off?

    www.mysite.com is the same URL as the domain mysite.com, its just a redirect. Pointing the Forums URL in the vB's AdminCP to http://mysite.com should resolve the problem if the images are in the root /public_html directory. Are they in the forums directory? Are your forums in the /public_html directory??

      This is my path to the forum:

      /home/content/s/h/a/username/html/

      and VB is installed in the root. So the images are located at http://mysite.com/images

        And your forum path in vB's adminCP its http://www.yoursite.com ?

            We use relative images and the URL for your board if we need to use absolute URL's

                It means you need to go into the vBulletin Options within the admincp and check that the URL is set correctly, if it is then it is a plugin or a hack you are using since all vBulletin images are referenced relative to the page and do not prefix items with a URL.

                      Turn Display Calendar Events in AdminCP off by setting it to 0, i hope this is what you mean. If it still displays the block, you are likely going to have to edit the calendar template.

                        Picture the calendar in Monthly view. At the bottom they show the next 2 months on the left and then on the right they show Add Event. I want everything at the bottom gone. Does sound like a template edit. Just wondering if someone can confirm this.
