My apologies for troubling you about this, but after searching for more information Candlekeep 2.0, I could not find any. Are there any updates?
Best regards,
Candlekeep 2.0 clearly is using Sage time. Which means it might take ten years give or take about nine.  |

Alas not. The amount of effort to migrate and translate as planned outweighs the need. Over the years, the Internet has changed from being primarily forums and content based to other mediums and formats. With social media and such, sites such as this are becoming less visited and of value. Candlekeep will always be here but unless there are significant changes in time, resource, money, I can't see significant overhauls taking place.
That said, forum migration is on the cards but the site itself is more than likely to remain old and clunky. |

Master Alaundo,
Thank you for the swift reply!

I am sure it has been asked, but in case it hasn't... have you all considered a crowd funding operation to fund the expenses including labor, tech, legal, etc.?

Understandable.

Well, I love the community and content. I just would love to see something done to ensure younger folk keep coming here and stay! :)

Master Alaundo,
I was thinking about this when I was looking at a fantastic map of Master Markustay's the other day: any possibility of having the ability to insert images, such as maps, into the forum posts? I am sure that would have considerable consequences for storage, but it would be great to have inserts.
Best regards,

Images are disabled on the forums so as not to create oversized posts and messy threads. There is no plan to remove this restriction. Any such maps and images can be sent into Candlekeep for inclusion on the site if the author wishes. |

Two requests:
1) Increase private message limit, could be linked to post count, title, or just a request on an individual basis. I guess there's a work around at the moment by msging someone directly from their summary listing?
2) A toggle button on searches that will list by scroll (as it does now) or individual post. This way if I search for the exact phrase "Private Message Limit" I don't have to go through each page of this scroll looking for it. So I could get multiple results for a single long scroll. |
The party come to a town befallen by hysteria
Rogue: So what's in the general store?
DM: What are you looking for?
Rogue: Whatevers in the store.
DM: Like what?
Rogue: Everything.
DM: There is a lot of stuff.
Rogue: Is there a cart outside?
DM: (rolls) Yes.
Rogue: We'll take it all, we may need it for the greater good. |

Many thanks for your suggestions. Note, however, that no further code updates or feature enhancements will be made to the forums themselves. The forums will eventually be migrated to another codebase rather than attempt to amend the current platform. |

Thanks for the quick reply. I likely knew this and had forgotten about it, whoops.
More important than anything else is that the site keeps going, everything else is just a cherry on top. Keep up the good work. |
