note i can goto ftp side and select an image file and view from ftp and it will come up and display it
the board works fine just no images will display

I'm assuming that this directory exists?

http://www.classic-ringmaster.com/ubb/

That's where it's looking for your images. In your board config file your path would look like this:

/www/c/yourusername/htdocs/ubb

The 'c' would be your first letter of your username.

The board can't find the images. It's either a path problem or the directory doesn't exist. That's really the only two things it could be.

The /htdocs is your 'public' directory, where your viewable HTML files and images would go. Anything outside that would not be viewable.
