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.

EDMC, ELA, EDDLite and similar tools are truly very helpful - you can have your stuff on Inara updated near real-time and it also provides station market, etc. data to all 3rd party sites on top of that. I however recommend to keep the auto-updates from Frontier's server too, as it is necessary to have your awards and so on up to date.

Synthya WylderI use EDDiscovery.
Same here
. I use VA enabled EDDI to link to EDDN for ED Discovery and EDSM etc, I think Elite Companion runs directly off the journal files. INARA is linked to Frontier only so the credit balances are all only verified updates. Coincidentally, on that point:Hi Artie,
I hope you're having a good weekend. Sorry, Frontier's server is having a problem updating my data again
. I tried resetting and reverifying the link but it's still failing to update. Could you adjust on the backend please, when you're free?Thank you so much,
Evo
P.S while I'm here, I'd also like to mention my interest for Gallery picture grouping again please. I'm really looking forward to that

It seems to be working at the moment, interesting. Please try again.
Yes, the image grouping is something I certainly want to have, it's just not so straightforward as it may look like (it needs changes to paging, layout, etc.), so I am experimenting with that a little bit.

SyraelI would appreciate to tag my stories with a specific language and also search for stories with a specific language tag.
ArtieYep, I may add something there later, together with the filter.
Thank you!

Yes, indeed. I can confirm it's working. Sorry about hassling you with that. In future, I'll wait for it to fix itself (Frontier to fix it) if it doesn't need any manual intervention. Thank you.

Ah, amazing. Sorry to hear it's not an easy thing to do. I hope you manage to find something that implements well with the least difficulty.
Thank you for your amazing work and thanks for keeping me and so many others well motivated on Elite!

We [GOMC] have a lot of unrelating sub-tabs spilled out in the [Private Discussion] as the only place to put them. This makes a long list and makes things a little daunting for new recruits and easy-going casual members.
I would prefer to group subject pages as sub directories under topic descriptive tabs, but can not see any way to do that.
Any tips? Can it be done? Is there an example somewhere I might look at if I am missing something?

ArtieHmmm... I can add some checkbox to the thread edit, like "Show in the menu" or so. That should do the trick.
I realize there are serious limitations to what can be done with BBCode but Just don't know.
I can already reveal or not, tabs by rank viewability options, but that only works with low ranks and a topic sort for advanced ranking pilots but with special interests would be what I am trying for.
If "Show in menu" does something like that, that'd be great.

Grecale80Hi Artie, good evening. It's just me or the button "edit" for change pictures in the personal fleet rooster is disappeared?
Hello, it's under the individual ship pages now. I needed some extra space in the listings, due various localized string lengths.

The visibility/access by the rank set for the individual thread will be still same, but with this option you will be able to hide less important threads from the menu (but keep them still visible on the main discussion overview page, of course), so there will be less clutter in there. Let's see how that will work first, as adding some extra hierarchy and groups is a lot more work for just that little thing.

ArtieBigmaecHey Artie, it's propably been requested before, but what about a fleet carrier picture upload like with ships?
Yes, it will make its way there.
EvolutionHello 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.
[httpCode: 0, fetchCode: 28]
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.
I currently have this very same issue, what do I need to do?

Resolved the same way, the import date was adjusted a little bit, please try again. There is unfortunately no other reliable way.
