The path in Settings > Media are /home/thecatsq/wp-content/uploads for stored uploads. If I take the /home off it gets worse (loses styles, etc). I was able to install the NextGen gallery which can be seen under Photos > Some of our cats. Those images are intact.
I also checked the DB and all the changes from old to new directory are made, as far as I can tell.
I have other questions but one thing at a time.
