New guy, here. I see that my post count is stuck at 0, no matter which forum or scroll I post in. No biggie, there, but it appears to be linked to another issue.
When I responded to an old, non-locked scroll, it did not rotate up to the top of the thread list. It remained buried in the forum, and <the thread list view does not show my last post>. However, if I actually click on the scroll, then <my post shows up there>.
Are these glitches with the software, or is there some sort of probationary period for newbs?
Thank ye, kindly.

Well met, BEAST
Indeed, posts in the Welcome are do not clock up post counts (nor do they in the Candlekeep Inn). This is intentional.
Did you experience a timeout during your post in the second issue you mentioned? This may account for the problem.

Clever, Wooly. 
Aye, Al. I seem to find myself being timed out on every post I've made here, so far (3 or 4). The particular one in question here both timed out and double-posted. When I went trying to track it down, I caught the double-post, and also the fact that both posts read 0 post count. (Again, I'm not bothered by that, but it did seem to be symptomatic of something greater.)
At that point, I deleted the duplicate post and ensured that the first, intentional post remained.
But I probably will not be able to draw any replies to my posts, if they don't bring their corresponding threads/scrolls back up to the front page of the thread list.
And it's no fun scribing to myself.
TY for your attention and consideration, gents. |

| As we've explained a few times though, the server is shared with others so the errors are unfixable atm less ya'll want to donate to Alaundo to get his own server. :) |

Once upon a time, we used to be able to rely on a certain furry hamster to go out into the dark halls of Candlekeep and hunt down the little gremlins. That used to be enough to keep the gremlin problem under control.
Not anymore, apparently. |

OK. We're all in the same boat. I guess that makes me feel better.
Too much load on the server? Bandwidth?
I was able to at least move the old thread back up to the top of the list, so that it showed in the thread list view and would be more likely to get others' attention, by editing my post with a bump. So typing a post caused a time-out, but going back and making the post even longer did not.
You know, about that hamster, Drizzt could sic Guenhwyvar on the little gremlin bastards and fix us up right quickly. Too bad so many here had to bad-talk ol' RAS and hurt Drizzt's feelings, though . . .  |

That's because Sage started breeding them more frequently! I'm only one hamster! |

I found a self-fix for this problem:
go to the posts you have made, and click on "Edit Post"
Simply do this and nothing else, then click on "Post Changes"
Your post will then both "count" and be placed at the top of the lists. |

Where does one donate?
And how much money are we talking about here? If we get the fifty most regular posters to donate, how much does each one have to contribute? |

You'll have to ask Alaundo where he wants donations sent. The Paypal link, over on the main site, doesn't work atm. And I have no idea how much the server costs, etc. Alaundo is the one, as I said, to discuss this with.

*shrug*
I know I wouldn't mind paying $50/month to support Candlekeep, especially if it meant better server access and less chance it will ever die, no matter what RSE the WotC pull on us.
Alaundo should definitely offer enrollment in some sort of sponsor program as an option. Heck, call it a subscription to the lore of Candlekeep. |

I know Alaundo has stated specifically that he does not want Candlekeep to become a subscription site, even if only in name. But a sponsor program might be a good way to go. |

Well met
Aye, I have no intention of charging for Candlekeep. Realmslore should be shared freely 
As for donations, indeed as Kuje states, the link is broken due to some change at Paypal. I need to get this sorted, but still have the paypal account available. If anyone wishes to donate in the meantime, please email me for details.
Any donations are greatly received and go directly into the running costs of Candlekeep. |
