A small update to this; you might notice the donation target has suddenly tripled! Our costs haven't changed (much) since we increased the target - what's happened here is I've just flipped the donation drive to a three-month period instead of one-month. There's no way to track rolling periods...

Yeah, the issue your facing here is the one noted in that support thread. Though the message says it's probably about your post count, in this case it's nothing to with it; you already have more posts than the required minimum. Unfortunately there's no distinction in the system between different...

Ah, I see. I think it took about two years to settle in last time I moved, but I did move mid-COVID so that might be why. Fingers crossed for six months!

Nah, it's an annoying problem, I'm aware. The error message is the catch-all kind, too - there's a number of root causes, so the fix for it is going to be multi-faceted as well. Bread and salt? Yeah, the migration tool I wrote has some pretty iffy blind spots. A lot of the time the fix is "dig...

It makes enough sense in context, 'tis a known issue. I'm moving house currently - I hope to have more time to look into it at some point in the near future, but Real Life continues to be extremely busy, unfortunately, which has been keeping me away from this.

Hey there. What were you trying to download that you ran into this on?

For all the Orbinauts celebrating this time of year, have a very special one, and may the probe bless your flights for 2024!

... I really don't want to try to crowdfund that kind of effort, but it'd be fun to create it :P

Can confirm we don't throttle anybody in that regard. The SVN repo sees very little traffic, so there's never been any need to shape traffic.

I think I can extract some of this (total users and active, mostly) from the backend, I'll see what I can put together on that. We do record addon downloads, but those don't seem to appear in the reporting tools I have here, so it's less clear how I could collate those. Most of this information...

Yep! Paypal does indeed show your donation on our side. The plugin we used for donations in the XenForo world has been nothing but trouble, really; unfortunately not many better options seem to exist, when I've looked. Anyway, many thanks for your donation, it's been safely received. :)

literally everyone, lol

We did previously, I'm pretty sure? But Twitter's new restrictions about how many tweets you can read and / or API limits may have impacted it. We certainly can't afford to be paying to embed tweets, sorry!

What's hosted here is just the core Orbiter, the mirrors house the high-resolution tile and terrain data files Orbiter 2016 needs, which is not stored here (far too big). You can get the P2P torrent files from here to download those items, however. The mirrors are a primary distribution method...

Elasticsearch fell over, I have picked it back up.

This was a server-side issue and should be fixed now.

For reference, the orbiter-forum.com and orbithangar.com are the only sites we support officially in this section. The europe Orbiter download mirror is my server (mirror 1), so I do accept support requests for that here, and the only other site of relevance I think would make sense to mention...

This hardware change has now completed; anything that's broken is going to stay broken unless someone tells me about it.
