Morgan,
I'd often wondered why the need for the relative / absolute links deal in the Plog options. Now that I'm creating my own vB project (rebuilding my ISP user provisioning system inside vB) which resides in a subfolder, I discovered the various issues with relative versus absolute links.
However, I seem to have found a way of overcoming this without having to do any manual link replacement. I hesitate to mention this, because I'm sure you already know about this, and there's probably other reasons for the way you are handling the relative links issue ... but ...
What I'm doing is, right at the top of the headinclude template I have:
Content visible to registered users only.
... where IN_CHEESE is defined in my global.php, just before the usual chdir to forum root. As long as I handle my own links correctly, this magically resolves all the other relative link problems on the navbar, footer, etc.
Anyway, as I said, I'm sure you already know about this base href trick, but just in case ...
-- hugh
