ORBITER-FORUM will be temporarily closed at 2026-07-23 18:00 UTC while we complete some OF maintenance tasks. The amount of downtime is expected to take up to one hour, but probably less.
This is not going to work I'm afraid. They would need their friends and family to move over as well otherwise they only have you to talk to. Besides that, clients from work use WhatsApp. As I'm being hired for a managing function, I can't just say "I'm not on WhatsApp". I can advise them to look...
Hi all,
This Friday, at 08:00 UTC, we'll be updating the forum software to version 2.2.2.
We've run into issues during the previous maintenance periods - we figured out what was going on, but are only now able to see if changes to the system are enough. If not, we can apply the same workaround...
Hi all,
First of all, happy new year from the OF staff!
As some of you might have noticed, the widget for PayPal donations is no longer updating.
I'm looking into why this is happening, but I would like to let the donators know that it's just the widget. Donations are still working as...
Hi everyone,
Last September I posted about upcoming maintenance to install an update, which unfortunately failed.
@Xyon looked at it yesterday, figured out what was happening and applied the update with a workaround.
Fortunately, a new update is available and we'll be installing it this...
A game called Mars Horizon has hit the (online) shelves, and personally I really like it so far.
From the developer:
The game is developed in coorperation with ESA and the UK Space Agency. Your goal; send the human race to Mars, and be the first to do so. Sound familiar? ;) It's like Buzz...
With the latest feedback, I've added the categories list to the frontpage:
I (we) agree with showing Orbiter 2016 add-ons first, however the API doesn't support this yet. So we will do this, once the API is ready. I hope that I have the time to send a proposal to @Xyon this week, since...
Update on the update: it did not go as planned since the automatic update was failing.
Currently I'm investigation why I got the error and how I can solve it. Once that's sorted out I'll re-plan this update.
Thanks folks!
Sorry for the late response. Time was really an issue these last few weeks, but it's all settling down again.
I've just checked it; it's hidden for others. Right now (as long as I'm online), you shouldn't be able to see what I'm viewing.
Hi everyone,
Since we're running updated forum software now, it would be nice to keep it that way.
XenForo released a small patch, that we will install this Wednesday at 08:00 UTC.
Downtime should be minimal, however since this is the first time we install a XF patch, it all might take a...
Update time! I wanted to do this a bit sooner, but I had to attend my own wedding and my Macbook broke, so yeah... ?♂️
Over the past few months we've been working on OHM. As said before, this consists of a back-end API and a new front-end. @Xyon is mainly working on the API side of things...
