Despite what it says there,...

Set Aggressive Email Banning to Yes

You need to put in a support ticket to your host and ask them to check the server logs....

[djbaxter]

Can you ask your host to do a trace on the server rather than through vBulletin?

Are you using any sort of captcha device on the contact form?

[djbaxter]

Quick thought: have you checked to see if they are ending up in spam folders or being blocked by your server as spam?

[djbaxter]

Yes I don't know why it only affects some browsers...

Maybe try increasing the setting for "Allow remote [video] retrieval"? Mine (4.2.5) is set to 6 although I honestly don't remember...

[djbaxter]

What is this set to?

AdminCP >> Options >> BBCode settings >> Allow remote [video] retrieval

And this?

Can you get Vertical Scope to increase your permissions? or to install a plugin or two for you?

Also can you check usergroup permissions? Seems odd that guests can see videos but registered...

[djbaxter]

Set up a usergroup called Limited Admin or Junior Admin or something. Give that group admin access but limit what they can do to only those things you want them to do.

Or even just make them...

[djbaxter]

No. It just attributes them to the dummy user instead of the original user....

[djbaxter]

I assume you're using the vB4 Suite with the CMS as a front page?

AdminCP >> vBulletin CMS >> Widgets probably....

Start a new post in the editor and then put your URL into one of the SSL checkers to see where you're loading an insecure link. Sounds like one of the icons in your editor toolbar may be insecure (possibly...

[djbaxter]

Best to uninstall that plugin then. That may be part of your problem.

Is the Sphinx module installed on your new server?...
