"403" errors are also known as "Forbidden" errors. These messages are usually generated for a few reasons:

A) You do not have permission to access that particular area
B) The directory was not CHMODed correctly
C) The server is experiencing technical difficulties

Please confirm, should they be CHMODed to 755, or 777?

Possible, but why would it stop working all of a sudden when no changes were made.

It's an image dir, it only needs to be set at 644, and the chmod wasn't changed when it stopped working[/quote]

This is what I'm thinking, but it is only affecting the vb style images. He also has two phpbb site and all images are still working, he has phpadsnew putting ads into two of the vb skins and they are still showing, the editor buttons in vb are still there as are a few little images he is hosting on there that aren't vb style images.

Now the db is erroring out, aaaargh!, and again it's only for the vb forum, the old phpbb one (that's using the same db) is still going.

So is it all the images in the /images/ folder of vBulletin?

Can you please make a list of all the folders that are returning 403 errors please? Do you have .htaccess files in these folders? If you are using a ftp program like Filezilla make sure you have set it to show hidden files.

At what point did this start happening if this is effecting more than just the vBulletin themes?

I am about to pass out so I will check back in the morning and see if I can't help some more. Maybe someone else will beat me to it so you can get here fixed pretty quick.

As far as I understand it he installed a new skin and the images didn't show up. He posted here and I replied and as I've had temp admin access from him a couple of times before I asked for it again so I could have a look (not installed a skin in vB in ages and couldn't remember how it worked so wanted a look). Anyway I open the forum in FF and all was fine on the default skin (probaly cached) and changed to the new skin (no images), I nosied around the admincp for a bit and couldn't see anything that was causing a problem, so I went back to the board and changed to the default skin again and it was still fine (defaintly probably cached) and refreshed (no images) did the same for the other skins and they were all gone. I spent approx. 6 hours last night going through the admincp and suggesting things for him to try in the FTP and host cPanel and nothing worked. This is only for the vB skin images though and defaintly appears to be a vB related problem in some way (I could easily be wrong there). He has two phpBB forums on the server as well and the are fine, phpadsnew is also working as are avatars and the editor images. The problem is all the images in the /images/ folder like BSG says above and I'll totally stumped as to what's wrong and have no clue what to do next

Try installing another skin that is not from AF. See if it's OUR skins that are the problem, or not.
