 * Ah, as with all weird issues it seems, the cause was me doing something stupid!
   I made the mistake of defining the uploads folder in the Settings – Media as 
   an absolute path, rather than a relative one, which resulted in wordpress bolting
   on the extra url on the fly.

 * Actually, it seems I spoke too soon. The links have all changed themselves again.
   This is a really weird issue.
 * I have tried the search you suggested, but it didn’t come back with any results….

 * Ah, thanks for the response.
 * Apparently since wordpress 4.1 image urls are no longer stored in the database,(
   said some posts I read, I don’t know where they are stored now) which is why 
   the the search and replace didnt work.
 * Anyway, I dropped the database, then imported it again from the old server, ran
   the search and replace for the permalinks and now everything seems to work.
 * Weird, but working.. thats good enough for me 😀
