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.

- Move "My profile" to the bottom in Menu (usually not frequently used on phone), you also can not access settings there when click on "My profile" (you see only PMs, Friends and language choice list for Inara). You must chose settings direcly from "+" drop menu for My profile to access them
- For "Squadron" I suggest something like next:

Martind ForlonFew suggestions after little testing Inara's new design for phones (Iphone11):
Thanks for the feedback! The navigation for the squadrons is something I would like to do today. The "My profile" positioning at the end of the list makes sense, I just currently cannot do that due how the menu is constructed (I will add that settings link there, though). But I will keep it in mind.
Carol Danvers 76Hi,
I really like the look of the new version. There's just a couple of points where I think the old version is better:
* In the Components by Type screen under Inventory, the old version shows the required and stored amounts. This is great for trading down within groups. In the new version, I can't tell if there are spare materials to trade down or if I only have just enough materials in the higher level. If I don't have spare, I'd rather trade across from another material group that has plenty.
* In the crafting list, it's great to see all of the recipe though it gets a bit cluttered if you have a big crafting list. It would be really good if you could expand and contract the full recipe.
Thanks
Hello and thanks! For the components, I will figure out something. Maybe displaying it like 50/36 instead of 50 will work? For the crafting list, you can try the new custom tags feature - you will set your tag(s) for any item there and then filter by it. Or that isn't sufficient?

My inara ranking over time. I am playing elite and appreciate seeing my efforts rewarded via a ranking chart. I like visual representation of that.
You have a security report that shows bounty hunters, what about a similar one for criminals?

Dark SessionHey Artie, there seems to be an issue when viewing another squadrons (than your own) main page, you seem to see mainly the information of your own squadron, with the exception of the title and the "latest squadron members".
Ha! Fixed, thank you.
EmpyriusA few things I was looking for as I used Inara.

I have responded to this earlier, probably it was missed.
Hmmm... not for the positions as it's relatively hungry and most importantly it's not "stable" (new commanders may join in, importing the data and push you down although you did nothing wrong), so it won't exactly serve the purpose. Maybe just the score values over time, but that won't work too much as a motivation, I suspect?
About the criminals "rankings": I do not want to do that, because it may push people towards ganking, etc. just to increase their score. Not exactly a desired thing.

By the way, probably nobody discovered it yet, but active Inara supporters can set a custom header background for their CMDR profiles. Just a little perk extra for your support.
StonedDeadReally like the new look, great work!
Thank you!

I have found a few bugs in the new Inara design on the desktop with touch screen.
Top menu is immediately reacting to touch as a click (impossible to open sub-menu) on NEWS, GALAXY, DATA...
- Fixed, but now it is not possible to open directly for example MY PROFILE (found workaround COMMANDER > Overview).
Mission description is missing toolbar (for editing).Images in full mission description are not fitting into the view (they are always 100% and get cropped from the right side on overflow).I can't see my commander settings (like security of visibility).Squadron members with rank Flight leader are not listed between officers (description says that it's corresponding in-game rank is Officer).

HuboHi Artie!

- Mission description is missing toolbar (for editing).
- Images in full mission description are not fitting into the view (they are always 100% and get cropped from the right side on overflow).
Thanks! Both bugs with missions were fixed,
You are not able to see link for the settings or the page with the settings (via Commander > Settings)?

ArtieYou are not able to see link for the settings or the page with the settings (via Commander > Settings)?
Probably my fault, that I didn't realize that COMMANDER > Settings is not the same as MY PROFILE > Settings (a bit misleading as it shares the nickname part).
You've been really quick with fixing. I have added one more about the squadron members ranks.

When the fleet carrier docking access is set to squadron and friends, the fleet carrier market should have been visible only to them as well. Now it is always visible to everyone (it is in both versions of Inara).

I used those all the time. They worked quite well for me, so I saw no need to customize them. I guess just using them was not enough for them to be seen as valuable.
I'll deal, but like most updates that try to use the same UI for mobile and desktop, the navigation becomes longer for the desktop user. There are actions that used to take a single click in Google Mail that now require 4 or 5.
I get that mobile is 25% or more of the users, and they have difficulty with the old site (I'd call it current, but I cannot get back to that UI since I tried the new UI). However, catering to the mobile users is adding friction to the UI for desktop users. And the goal of any UI is to reduce that friction to the extent possible.
The old site would present more complete information in the Components by Type screen. Now, I have to think about what the actual limits are. I actually appreciate the more compact display, but this would benefit from the option to have more data displayed if the user wants it.
Any handling of the Engineers is going to be a compromise, and both the old and new presentation are quite useful. With the number and type that need to be handled, the new solution is a good one. Once I have unlocked an Engineer, it is less important to me how they relate to each other. This is a case where the multiple screen reduces the friction when one is working through the unlock path. The key for me is that all relevant information is presented on a single screen.
I'll deal as the information provided by this site is quite valuable, but this update doesn't improve my workflows, and in some cases, increases the effort.
