CES VaultWiki is a product written for the vBulletin forum software that adds a forum-based Wiki system.[1] VaultWiki is an extensive product and as a result does not work perfectly with everyone's vBulletin installation "out of the box." If you plan to install VaultWiki, you should also plan for a few hours of site down time, and you should try to schedule it during a time when someone from support is available (the most active of which is pegasus). If you experience any problems, our support staff will work with you to get the product working on your server.

CES VaultWiki is available in two packages, Standard and Premium. The Premium version comes with all the features of Standard, but will also include access to the other CES VaultWiki addons, such as [arsenal=CES VaultWiki Categories]VaultWiki Categories[/arsenal], [arsenal=CES VaultWiki Images]VaultWiki Images[/arsenal], VaultWiki Xpages, and VaultWiki Xredirects, among others (as they become available).

Fine Print

1. ^Big boards should wait for the 2.1.2 build, due out 10/20/08, before installing this product.
2. ^We offer an extremely high level of support. If you cannot get the product working, we will not refund your money unless the support staff cannot find the problem. If you have a problem and you do not provide enough information to solve it (e.g. you don't provide error messages or are very general in your description of the problem), we will not refund your money. If you are not willing to give the product a chance, then just refrain from purchasing it in the first place.
