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.

You can search your own posts made on this forum, under MY POSTS. Though, seeing as you're a lot more of a regular commenter, it's probably not as useful for you than in my case, for example.

James HussarArtie - is there a way to search through my past posts to the discussion fora? At one point I wrote a lengthy post on my character's origin story, but I didn't think to capture it as a personal log/diary entry. I don't even remember how long ago it was, but it's something I'd like to dust off and elaborate on, without having to reinvent it from scratch.


I raised the same question some time ago and others before and after me did it too.

So far, the only way is to go to "My Post" (look to your left) and search there. It's only "your posts" so the searching pool is smaller than the total.

I'm going to blame my teenage years passtime for the selective blindness that prevented me from seeing that menu option.

Thanks!

You can try this, but keep in mind it's not an official feature yet as it needs some extra work and polishing (and implementation for squadron discussions). But generally, it should do the job.

WOOHOO!! Found it! It only took two keywords and it was the third or fourth link I licked though.

You, Sir, are a magician!

Hey Artie,

Can you have https://inara.cz/galaxy-megaships/ sort function working around all pages, currently it works per page.

There are few megaships in anarchy systems but I could't find them unless going on all pages.

There is also some kind of discrepancy ... Went to BD-17 5832 but there was no researcher and federal capital ship but cropper and federal cap ship instead...

How reliable is that data - the system seems updated at least by me.

Hey Artie

Hope you are well. Was wondering what could be happening to cause my ship name & ID to be missing? About a week ago I sold off a bunch of ships and am just running a Python and the only other change was I officially added 'Ghost Legion' squadron and reset my ship name/ID a couple times to see if I could trigger it in the file to update but so far it is not updating. Advice? Thanks.

Ah, yes, the sorting there is a little bit problematic, until I will generally change how the data tables are loaded (through ajax). The megaships updates may be sometimes off, the journals are providing a limited set of data, so for example when some "travelling" megaship (without marketId in the journal) move elsewhere meanwhile, it may still appear in the previous system and so on. There is also not very reliable to change it by the name, how it seems (may not be unique). That also affects to some extent megaships with marketId which are in a new star system, because until it's noticed in the new star system (and move accordingly), it may be still present in the old star system until updated. So minor differences may be present.

You mean in your "license" on top of the page, I presume (as I see your ship correctly named in the fleet). Please set it as a main ship first (through edit or click the small "M" button in the fleet listing). The ship ID/name should appear there then.

Thanks for clarification and consideration!

EvolutionHello INARA.

I seem to have found a bug and had mentioned it on the INARA channel as well:
https://discordapp.com/channels/102002327619121152/102002327619121152/692406545891197019

If you use a biography picture and bullet points, the bullet points show on the left of the image and the text on the right (rather than having everything on the right)

Please see my biography to see the issue:

I suspect you are using Internet Explorer, it's a rotten browser.

Artie, if you add overflow: hidden; to the ul it should fix this.

Greetings Aunty Sledge,

Thanks a lot for your fast reply! Almost, I'm not using IE but using MS Edge for home stuff. I just tried Chrome and can confirm it wasn't an issue there.

Unfortunately, I don't use Chrome for normal browsing as I use Edge and Chrome for different purposes:
Edge is for pages like Elite, YouTube, shopping etc.
Chrome is sync'd with my works google account for working from home.

Thanks for sending the proposed fix to Artie and thanks in advance, Artie.

Stay safe,
Evo

Hi there,

You can try to replace Edge with Firefox...

They are both Microsoft and therefore made out of damp leaves and used chewing gum. Best avoided if possible. Firefox and Chrome work well.
