Inara updates, bug reports, requests
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.

ArtieLaynor: These possible duplicities are displayed just on the join requests. Yes, it should be no problem to add additional ranks for thread access settings, I will take a look on it.
Ah cool thanks Artie!
Hope to see it online soon ^^

Tycho49: Unfortunately, yes, it needs to be manually updated. At least until Frontier will make an official API where will be possible to gather all commanders' data without any obstructions.

PBSF PendragonI remember we were talking some months ago regarding the possibility of adding "medals" or awards for people on rosters. Just wondering if anything's moved forward with that or if I can be of any assistance with moving it forward
I always enjoy receiving medals!

A few months ago I asked if it was possible to add "total time played" from the (R) panel and you said you would look into it. I was wondering if you did and maybe I just missed the final word? It would be nice to see that without having to load the game just to look. Thanks for all you do :-)

Can we name the medals? Phat Medal for Phat Pilots!

The medals are something I'd like to do, I also refined some ideas for it already, but I am currently hesitating between two different approaches. The first one is that all medals will be unified between wings, based on the measurable parameters (like "wing member for X days" ) and also with the option to award them subjectively by choice in predefined categories (like "...for outstanding deeds during a combat mission" ). It is slightly easier to do and it also provides some boundaries, so all commanders between different wings can be "compared" to each other and it can be also displayed in their profiles. The second approach is to make them completely customizable, manually awarded, doesn't matter the criteria, which gives more freedom for a wings, but the medals/awards can be so different between all wings that any comparison between commanders is simply off the table and it also makes no sense to display them in their profiles (as it tells nothing to commanders outside the wing). At this moment, I am rather inclined to implement the first approach, as it is easier and it doesn't close the door to possible future enhancements. Any thoughts and/or ideas what medal categories/types should be?
In any case, my roadmap of the main stuff for the immediate Inara updates is currently following (minor stuff may be there as well, not present in this list):
- some background optimizations (done, except flightlogs) [UPD1]
- minor faction output improvements, player faction list (almost done) [UPD1]
- wing missions/goals (partially done) [UPD1]
- timeline (currently experimenting with it) [UPD1/UPD2]
- subscriptions for logbooks, galleries [UPD1/UPD2]
- comments/likes/etc. for logbooks, galleries, etc. [UPD2]
- engineers list (depends on the game update) [probably UPD2]
- goods in Galaxy (as it is easy to miss in the Market section) [probably UPD2]

Yes some of those are far outside the bubble, but it hinders me from putting them into the "Favorites" section

Artie. Any thoughts and/or ideas what medal categories/types should be?
My wing had started to award medals for participation in war(s) where takeover of a Station or System was undertaken. Your second option would clearly be beneficial to this process - that is fully customizable in terms of ribbon colours and title. There seems to be plenty of methods of comparisons between different wings such as the Inara ranking and I would suspect that there are so many different reasons why wings would confer medals that a pick list would become unwieldy.
I used the custom achievement to record the Operational Service Medal (OSM) we recently 'awarded' to a number of our Cmdrs see: http://screencast.com/t/dXINdALNJmn
Perhaps just a 'gold/silver' medallion icon that could be displayed in the roster view alongside the rank icon.
