Benjeth: Ah, right, I forgot that. Proper option added...

Andy: It's not possible unfortunately, as Coriolis has no textual export at this moment. You can give direct link to your configuration there for now and try to ask Coriolis author if he will provide such option. He seems to be active guy and he did really great job on Coriolis so far, so it's possible he will add it there.

SarkosHi Artie

For those who heavn't chosen a power, not yet or maybe never want to, it would be nice to set the power to independent. Looks much better than a blank in the signature

Would it be an idea to add the same to the Wing? If you aren't a member of a wing the display something (independent is an obvious choice, but even 'None' could work)

True, true. "Independent" added for wings, too...

Maybe I am blind, but where can I find individual Commanders on INARA? Thanks!

It's not possible at this moment (search by name), just from various listings (wing roster, etc.). I will add some search later

Am I missing something? This site looks cool, however I'm a bit lost as to how to use it?

Is there any manual or simple instructions on how to use the site?

Thank you

The settings tab  = controls your privacy settings and how the market displays and shows route/s for ship/pad size

the rest is point and click and uses dropdowns

were applicable Artie has put instructions in on how to use stuff... like netlogs etc

if you're stuck just ask... everyone will help

Hey Artie,

I have a question, and this is just coming from someone with small un poquito computer skills.

I'd love, LOVE to add pictures to the gallery. BUT my screenshots are too big in file size even thought they're in 1920 x 1080p. They're about 5.3mb I think in size. I'd love to keep them close to 1080p if I can. I'm just wondering how to do so. I have them all uploaded to Flickr, so it's easy for me to change their size, but the quality is affected as well.

I do have GIMP, Inscape, and Krita though to adjust and tweak the images. I'm just wondering what you would recommend.

thanks!

Broc: GIMP is alright, just open it there and save as jpg or png.

@Broc: GIMP will do it, just Export as a JPEG. I typically only use GIMP for heavy-duty editing, I use Irfanview as my default image viewer and it will do light edits and more importantly image conversions (also batch conversions!!!) very quickly. I can open, convert, and be doing something else by the time GIMP finishes loading.

thanks for this! Yeah, I like GIMP alot. I've used it now for quite a while making skins and such for IL-2 so I know it pretty well. I'm going to look into that Irfanview though, "batch conversions" sounds like a dream!

Thanks guys!

If you are using Windoze..... just open the pic in "Paint"

then save as a Jpeg to another file name

Another thing about Irfanview is you can tell it to remove all of the EXIF metadata.  That usually can shave a decent chunk off of a file, on top of it being able to make smaller files already.
