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.

Squadron List Page....

Pardon us old farts... we get used to things being a certain way and when it changes we call our Congressman...  Keep in Mind I'm a Grumpy Old Man (GOM Collective) and don't like the phone company changing our area code...

New players may see "Squadron" and click on it and see something different than I do. I click Squadron and see my squadron. I have no idea what new Pilots see...

I've placed our Squadron promotion using the same format for quite a while, now I have to come up with a new format?  I appreciate that things change but I had no idea... perhaps adding a link here to take people to the new Bulletin Board?  Wherever it is I'll find it...

After posting the new recruiting page I must say I really preferred the old way. The pilot has to know to click on the post to see the entire thing.

People who know how something works have no idea what someone who doesn't has to go through to figure it out. Oh well.

Edit: Including me...

All right, after futzing around with the damned thing I figured out how to keep my original promotion page in the details that Pilots can see AFTER they click on the main post.  I just had to announce to CLICK HERE TO SEE MORE.

grumble, mumble, friggin fraggit... damned kids anyhow...

I am finding that the 'auto fill' in the subject box for composing messages no longer picks up any previous entries

Is this deliberate or a bug?

I think it's a bug because the market entry exists but there is no material inside.

FYI.

I have recently "upgraded" to Win10 on my browser system and am seeing about running "Light". That means not installing anything I can get by without. That means using IE for the browser, (I know, just stop for a minute). So I assume it has to do with IE but maybe not.

When I post on Inara and use functions like 'Italics' or 'bold' the function produces - "text text text" placing what I am formatting on both ends of the function. Requiring I edit/delete the duplication(s) before posting.

Also IE does not seem to display the strike-through function when employed.

Just some strange things to note.

I will make some minor improvements to make things more obvious, but generally it will stay as is. It seems this solution for the squadron recruitments works better than using forums posts, the number of the squadron join requests quite increased since the feature was introduced.

No changes there for a while and it still works for me. It seems it may be something browser-side.

Thanks, I am able to replicate it, adding to list of bugs for fixing.

There should be a forum for "RP Meta-discussion".

I have no interest in RP discussion, and scrolling through pages of comment to see if there is something that IS of interest to me in the General/game talk area is tedious.

But, clearly there seems to be an interest in having meta discussion about what goes on in the RP area(s), and there ought to be a convenient place to have/avoid this topic.

I think this is a good idea! Or, we should use the Q&A and OOC area to discuss these things.

Hi Artie,


Still an amazing job, you have been doin!

And i am sure you still have sh!tloads of work to do still....but .....:


...any possibility to consider  to include a search  within our discussion-boards, respecting the access-level?


We use among our squadron, our squadron-pages for reference, but since we have quite some material:

Hello commanders. Just need some help understanding the market now. I’m fairly new and just want to know, when you are looking at best sell price, what is th quantity column express? Is that how much I need to supply in order to get the value listed? Thank you

This sort of question is better asked in the General forum.

However, the quantity shows how many units/tons are available for sale, when you are buying, or the demand to be satisfied when you are selling.

Hi Commanders, I've noticed recently on the overview page for my commander the Credits & Assets Graph is blank, (like in the picture below). When I navigate to the Credits & Assets page from the Inara menu it is displayed fine though. Is this a known problem? Anyone now of any fixes or workarounds?
