You should never be using "/core" in any URL via the browser.
It sounds like you have your URLs set wrongly either in the admincp or more likely in one of your config files.

// The following are the cacheing classes that can be used.
// vB_Cache_Db - This setting stores the data in the database

//Cache options are
//vB_Cache_Memory - fastest but doesn't survive a page load.
//vB_Cache_Db- significant speed improvement and available to everyone.
//vB_Cache_Filesystem good performance, reduces traffic and load on db server. Not available to everyone- your web server must be able to write to the database.
//vB_Cache_Memcached excellent performance but usually only available to dedicated or virtual hosted sites.




// ******** FILESYSTEM CACHE CONFIGURATION ******
//If you use filesystem cache you MUST uncomment the line below.
//set the path to somewher writeable by the web server process. This location must already exist. Please put
// this somewhere outside the document root. Otherwise you have just created a serious security issue.
//Don't include the final '/'

// ****** DATASTORE CACHE CONFIGURATION *****
// Here you can configure different methods for caching datastore items.

// vB_Datastore_XCache - to use XCache
// vB_Datastore_Memcached - to use a Memcache server, more configuration below

// than one set of forums installed on your host, you *may* need to use a prefix
// so that they do not try to use the same variable within the cache.

// ****** The following options are only needed in special cases ******


// ****** MySQLI OPTIONS *****

// may receive collation errors. Ignore this setting unless you
// are sure you need to use it.

// Optionally, PHP can be instructed to set connection parameters by
// reading from the file named in 'ini_file'. Please use a full path to

// The following are settings/permissions that are not normally used but
// are here for reference. Please be careful using them. Do not enable or
// uncomment without understanding what they do first.


// This allows you to disable modifications and extensions to the software.
// If your site is not functioning well after installing or using a third
// party modification, please enable this.
// define("DISABLE_HOOKS", true);


// This allows you to shut down all mail that is being sent by vBulletin.

// to help understand how pages are built. This should NEVER be enabled in
// a live environment.
// $config['Misc']['debug'] = true;


// This enables debug logging. The debuglogger is controlled from the

On your site, the Forum tab, CMS tab and Custom tab can be deleted. They aren't really used.
