I think the problem is larger than those lines. It looks to me like the server has been upgraded to PHP5, while the version of vBulletin we're running was written for PHP4. The 'deprecated' warnings just mean that at those lines, there is a PHP4 usage (in this case, an ampersand for passing a reference) that - while it still works in PHP5 - is no longer recommended (and may be unsupported in future revisions of PHP). The other problems (missing avatars, etc.) are probably due to code that is actually no longer compatible with PHP5, rather than just being deprecated.
