Nearly complete
Install and configure wiki software. Work with VaultWiki developer to bring old wiki content over to new Wiki, once installed. VaultWiki software has been installed and old Wiki entries from vBulletin forum have been imported. Approximately 25% of Wiki pages have been edited and tweaked for new forum, with 75% remaining to tweak. Software is early beta stage, so very buggy. Have been working with developer on bug fixes to solve problems.

alabbasi​
No​

In process
Forum's base URL (www.500eboard.co) generates an error message rather than a web page. Need to create a web page or a redirect from this URL to the forum. GVZ is working on this.

JC220

Researching
Add existing kudos from old site to new site members' accounts, combining with any new/accrued "likes" from this site. May be difficult to do from a technical perspective, but will research what it requires and make decision to pursue or not.

JC220​
No​
2​
Researching
XenForo forum users not able to review recently uploaded images and ability to re-use them for future posts. This will require a paid add-on mod, which is expensive and I am not currently willing to pay for.
