Commanders having Elite from Epic games store with http 400 error
When you try to link your accounts, you may receive the http error 400 about expired tokens. It's an issue on Frontier's end that I cannot solve on Inara. Fortunately, the solution is simple - please give it a few days and it will start to work later (probably when the access token on their cAPI server expires). If the error 400 appeared later and it worked before, try to reauthenticate as said in the error message (may be just a regular reauth forced by Frontier). Alternatively, you can try to use the workaround below. If even that won't work, it's the problem described above.
Please vote for the issue on the official bug tracker: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/21258

Possible workaround: Try to connect the account while you are in the game. It may work.

Game data and imports not available for console commanders and PC players with Legacy game version
Inara supports only the Live game version (so PC Horizons 4.0 and Odyssey) since game update 14, thus all the game data on the site and the commander data imports work only for those game versions.

o7 cmdrs,

Need help, I had to step away from ED for 2 months due to illness, and just logged into Inara and all my personal suit and crafting needs have been wiped clean. I remember logging in with my player name but now it requires an email address. Is there any wat to get back my crafting lists? In fact, everything has been wiped clean, my gallery pics, my uploaded pics of my ships. What gives?

ajcardiacHey Artie

My privacy settings are not saving.
The 'You control your privacy' box pops up with every new inara page (on 2 different PCs, so don't think it is a local setting).

Great job on the site in general!

Quick question. Is there BBCode for resizing linked images, or perhaps I am just doing it wrong? Strange thing is that the resized image appears resized when editing a log entry and not viewing the source code, but upon saving the log entry and viewing it, instead of the resized image I am getting the code for the resized image.


"[img=300x200] (Url of image) [/img]" appears to resize the image when in editing mode, but once saved, it has the code as text when viewing the log entry

Please head to your commander page ("Commander" in the main menu) and there is a big button "Import game data", it will link and import your commander data here. For the market updating, etc. you will however need tools like EDMC, EDDiscovery or EDDI which will send the market/outfitting/etc. data to all 3rd party sites. It's best to have one of those tools running while playing the game (pick any you like).

Hello, no image resizing at the moment. Although it may be working in the wysiwyg editor, the tag is intended to be "plain" without any other parameters.

Well, it's technically a search option, not a page, but I guess it won't harm to have some quick link there. I will think about that, thanks for the suggestion.

Hey Artie, I hope you're doing well!

As always, I want to first thank you for the amazing platform we have here in Inara. It provides a lot of fun and meaning to my ED gameplay.

I have a suggestion. It's regarding the Commander Hangar -> Ship List. We can filter ships by their roles there.

The context is, in case a ship has more than one role, for example Mining and Cargo Hauling or Exploration and Rescue or Exploration and Research it will not be filtered with other ships that share that role, for example one that is only for Exploration. Instead it creates the new role "Exploration and Research". You can check my Hangar to see where I'm coming from.

My suggestion is that the ship roles work like tags. What if we could use a comma to separate the roles? So a ship with different roles could be setup like "Exploration, Research" or "Exploration, Rescue".

I believe that the filter would work more efficiently through those tags and plus some more usual roles could be suggested when filling that field, for example "Combat" or "Exploration" or "Trading" or "ones that are most commonly used" etc. Those suggestions could help players define clearer roles and interact more with this feature.

What you think?

When editing the logbook or bio, are you clicking on the "Insert an Image" icon in the editing bar? It will open a popup to enter the url of the image. The code will look something like this.. "{img]<URL of image>[/img]" If you toggle the "view source code" icon ( </> ) then you can move back and forth between editing mode and what things look like when posted.

Yes I was clicking on the insert photo icon and the photo itself seems to not show up.. I will attempt again but it always pops up with just a small photo icon not the actual photo.

I personally have been inserting pictures through uploading them to OneDrive and then requesting an embed link from there(no HTML tags, but idk if that makes a difference).

Might need to do something similar to get them. Dunno, though.

I got it!!!! I had to use the webpage inspect to find the source code for the specific photo. We are back in business now

A very minor thing: In the system LHS 1167 the faction Long Embedded Systems is native despite the name as evidenced by the civil war it's currently having and the fact that it's not present in any other system. When I try to edit it to native to LHS, Inara doesn't let me save the changes probably because it trusts its determining the NPC faction origin by its name more.

I guess the description of the Offtopic Discussion section has been cut by something.
