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.

Thankyou for the change to nearest systems. Very very useful!

Hey Artie, it's propably been requested before, but what about a fleet carrier picture upload like with ships?

I see a Frontier ID when I try importing, but have never seen the Commander Name get populated.
I've gone through the process you've suggested, logged out of XBL, reset the account link in Inara, reconnected the correct account.

Well, in this case I am afraid something is wrong with your account. Because it appears like there is no game assigned to it, but oddly return at least a "skeleton" of profile data. I suggest to contact Frontier's support about that, as there is nothing I can do with that. I am attaching the data retrieved from cAPI /profile endpoint below, as a proof for them the issue is not on Inara's end.
{
   "user": {
       "frontierid": 0,
       "platformid": 1,
       "cmdrname": null
   },
   "authdata": [],
   "capidata": []
}


Support ticket raised with FDev... fingers crossed it's an easy fix at their end.

My best advice, send in a ticket to frontier because this doesn't sound right.

Hello Artie,

Sorry, I'm having a problem with INARA / Frontier API. I followed the instructions and reset my account link a few times but I'm still not able to get Frontier data. However, EDDI is up and running. I've tried the manual update a few times and opened the game to see if that helped as well.

Here's what I'm seeing:

Auto-update of your commander's profile is halted due to errors which occurred during the last update attempt. Please perform a manual import using the button above to enable it again.

Update error
There was a problem with Frontier's service while requesting the data. Please try to re-link your account (reset account link in the Settings) and repeat your request.

Yes, it will make its way there.

Hello, it's an issue with Frontier's server refusing to serve the journal for the given day. Your import date was adjusted to skip it, please try again.

Hey Artie,

Thanks a lot for the workaround of the Frontier issue. It's working again o7

I set up a second system and am running Inara on it. On my main PC my Discussion List in our Squadron is across the top. On the new system the list of discussions (and the Discuss List) is on the left.

How do I change it to list at the top?

Lower the browser window size.

ArtieJust a minor improvement:
The list of nearest inhabited star systems on the star system page was moved to a dedicated tab, which is now listing all (inhabited) star systems within the 20Ly expansion cube. On top of that, there are also displayed controlling factions, factions which are also present in the selected star system and non-native factions with low influences (and possibly close to retreat).


A minor improvement? This is awesome! There's now a BGS-tool incorporated into Inara. Thanks for this, very much appreciated.

Two minor suggestions to add anyway:

1. could we have a marker on systems (red dot in the STAR SYSTEM column), which are permit locked? If you sort the list for possible expansion targets, this would be very helpful.

2. could we have an additional column showing the (factions) "last update" ? maybe relative like in commodity? and man can dream: colored green if after last tick?

Again, thanks for this great addition, it makes self written BGS-tools nearly obsolete.

Good idea, both added (without that green colour as it has its complications, though).

Artie, may I respectfully request a little feature?

We are using a multi-recipient private message to exchange ideas for our role-playing, and it is already five pages long.

Some time ago you added the pagination even at the top of forum pages, and it has been a great improvement for the navigation. Would it be possible to do the same thing for the private messages, if they exceed the length of one page?

Alternatively (or in addition), another solution could be open a private message directly to the last page. Both implementations would improve the user experience, because now we open the message at page 1 and we must scroll down the whole length to reach and click the Last button.

Thank you!

Hey Artie,
there is a small display bug in the CMDR's signature:

The allegiance is displaying a property instead of text.

Example: my signature

Nice, thanks!

Have you changed something with the sort algorithm? It now seems a bit broken to me. Before, when sorting after INF (highest first), the highest faction was used (all good) for sorting, even if the system has low-inf-factions, but now it does no longer do that. Systems that have low-inf factions seems to be "unsorted", are sorted behind the ones without low-inf-factions. It worked perfectly as needed until a few minutes/hours ago.

Sorting after lowest inf first still works as expected.
