Thanks all in advance. This is a weird one. Vers 6.5 1. Go to MY PROFILE 2. Click on the "Select a Different Avatar" link 3. A Popup comes us with 30 avatars to choose from 4. There is a NEXT button at the bottom of the popup to check out the next 30 avatars to choose from And here's the rub... 5. Click on NEXT and a 404 error comes up. In the header of the 404 page is the page name that is causing the problem. The domain appearing is my old IP address followed "?UBB=avatar_select" etc. I no longer have that old IP address anywhere in my Config settings! How can it still be pulling it in? I have cleared caches, reinstalled the ultimatebb.cgi page but no luck!!!! Where could this page be pulling in this old IP address from? http://www.signingshotline.com/UBB/UBBcgi/ultimatebb.cgiThanks again!

Open vars_config.cgi directly with notepad and ensure that no "straggler" information remains. Also ensure that you clear your cache.

I cleared cache and went to vars_config.cgi. Anything with my domain info on it is correctly listed using my correct domain name. The IP that is showing up on this one page was a temp IP I used while I was switching servers.
There is a cookie listed on vars_config.cgi. Could that be an old cookie?
Are there ANY other places to look?

What I do in these situations is just download the entire contents to my local disk and search each and every file.

Oh my . Where would I start to look to find this!!! I would think that the domain name is being pulled in from 1 spot. (vars_config)

Well, if you just download your entire site you can just use the search from windows to look inside all files. No sense in manually checking all those files if you have a computer to do the work If you have ssh/shell access to your server, I am pretty sure there is a search command also that will search through every file on your site, but I don't know the commands for that.

You got it blaaskaak! I went to the server (Windows) and did a search with Windows Explorer! I found it. It was on a .js page
So here is the question...how did this get hardcoded to the page?

I don't have a clue, I never maintainted an ubb.classic install, so I have no idea on how things work there.

You might consider upgrading to UBB.threads at some point as there are only a couple people around that still have much knowledge on UBB.classic and the inner workings.

6.5 is quite old, you may have hard-coded a path/url in there for some reason way back when... At the minimum I'd recommend upgrading to the current 6.7.3 - lots of bugs and security holes have been fixed since 6.5 Upgrading isn't difficult at all, I upgraded a ubb.classic 6.3 to ubbc 6.7.3 this past week.
