Hey guys. I'm not new to forums, or internet scripting, but I'm not an expert either. With my experience though, I can't seem to figure out what is going on right now. I just started a Web Forum and I'm using VBulletin 4.0.3. Everything uploaded and installed just fine. However here is where the problem lies. I have NO button images. Everything has no images. Smiles, topic buttons, status buttons, nothing. No buttons or images are working except for ones that people have uploaded for their avatars/profile signatures. I've worked with the VBulletin Staff Support to try and figure this out, however with them looking through everything and troubleshooting, they said the problem lies with my domain host. So, that being said, I contacted my host, and they told me to come here. So, here is a little more info to help you guys help me, if you can.

I have double checked all uploaded files/folders to make sure everything did in fact upload. Done, everything there.
Uninstall and Re-install VBulletin. Done, no changes.
Checked permissions through VBulletin. Check, All permissions are what they need to be.
Checked folder/image permissions on my domain. Done, All are set to 0755, which is what they need to be.

That being said, I still get nothing. And if I type in the direct url for a image on my domain, I get a 403 forbidden, and it doesn't show, even though it's set to 0755. Can anyone help?

URL to my site: baltnation.klrbaltdomain.com
URL to a test image that shows my problems I'm having: baltnation.klrbaltdomain.com/Problems.png (as you can see I have no icons/buttons nothing.
URL to an image in my image file: baltnation.klrbaltdomain.com/images/statusicon/forum_old-48.png

Any ideas?? I've been working on this for 3 straight days to no avail. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you for the response. I checked and all my image files are CHMOD'd to 0755. Even the folders as well.

When I downloaded the software content, all images work and are accounted for on my hard drive. I uploaded them to the domain, and they are the right sizes. But still nothing.

As far as the .htaccess, I don't have a .htaccess file on that subdomain. Do you think that my main domain .htaccess is preventing it?

A couple of simple things to try:

Are the image files all individually CHMOD'd to 0755, or just their containing folders? Make sure each individual image has the right permissions.

Check your .htaccess files to see if there are any rules that may be forbidding access to those folders.

Also, did the forums work when you tested them locally on your own PC? Did all the images show up then?

I got it to work. I guess I had hot linking enabled. After disabling hot linking, everything is working just fine. Thanks for the help. This thread is solved.
