New thread so you have one place to go for updates on this migration.
So far I would say we're in pretty good shape. Services for backing up the database and its daily maintenance have been re-enabled and are running normally.
If you have any questions on any of this, please feel free to ask here, and I will respond to them in kind. I will update this thread going forward.
Thanks,

* As of last Monday, January 20th, we opened the site having having taken just under a week for the migration. The migration added a Resources, Graphics and Blogs modules as well as the primary Forums and other ancillary services.
* By Wednesday, Jan 22nd, I had reloaded about 99% of the documentation we had on file at the old site. I still have some new documents to add which should be going up this week. A guidance document on the use of this module will be forthcoming - soon, and will be placed in the root of the directory there.
* By Thursday, Jan 23rd, the Front Page had returned with the model rotation and links to some of the administrative pages. A guidance document on the use of this module will be forthcoming - soon, and will be placed in the root of the directory there.
* On Saturday the 26th, we completed review of about 2,000 images in the Media module - those having come over from the Albums portion of vBulletin. A guidance document on the use of this module will be forthcoming - soon, and will be placed in the root of the directory there.
* Also on Saturday/Sunday, Jan 26-27, we had reopened the Blogging module after discovering some issues there porting over the existing blogs and their images. Because of the lack of a clear vBulletin Blogs-to-XenForo Blogs path, our developer had built a script and the linking images became an an issue because of some irregularities in the code and data. I still have access to the old site - so nothing has been lost. I have been going through the blogs one by one and reattaching the images and then contacting the authors and ask them to check their formatting, etc.
* As of today, Jan 28th, I have about another 120 blog posts to review, and I anticipate having my work done on the Blogs module this week. Like all the others, a guidance document on the use of this module will be forthcoming - soon, and will be placed in the root of the directory there.
So far I would say we're in pretty good shape. Services for backing up the database and its daily maintenance have been re-enabled and are running normally.
