Hi everyone, We thought it might be nice to do a “state of Orbiter Forum” post to talk about where we stand and what we’re working on Orbiter Forum Some 2 years ago we migrated to XenForo. This step made our live a lot easier and we’re running up-to-date forum software. This comes at a cost...

Hi all! With the recent news regarding Orbiter opensource, we've decides to open a new sub-forum. We've also added a new category and a couple of new channels in Discord, related to the development of Orbiter self. We hope this improves collaboration between developers to work together on...

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...

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...

There are some options that users were able to set on vBulletin but are not needed anymore. We should clean these up, because they can be confusing.

There's been a couple of requests to bring back the chatbox to the board. Need to investigate proper replacements for what we had.

Hi everyone! Back in 2018 I wanted an app with a summary of all spaceflight related news. There was none, so I decided to build one myself. Before I could do that I needed an API, so that's what I build in the second half of 2018. It's called the Spaceflight News API (SNAPI). The API is still...
