  1. I'll work on bringing it back later in the week. Changes on Imgur's end have made it so that the embeds are broken, and their new embed code doesn't seem to play nice with our forums.
  2. I've received a (speedy!) answer from IPS regarding this. It's a known issue that will be fixed in their next release.
  3. I have no idea what would cause this issue. Do you have any screenshots available, and does it occur on any other browser?
  4. Perhaps you can hook up your PC to your TV (HDMI cable or Steamlink or similar), and use the PS4 controller on your computer?
  5. The main protection against double entries is that a Google account is required and the form can only be submitted once per Google account. I have other means of checking for duplicate entries, but I will keep those for myself. Those who enter more than once may be disqualified.
  6. You'll have to upload it to an image host, most people use Imgur for that purpose: www.imgur.com. Once you do that, simply click the "insert other media" button in the editor and click "insert imagine from URL"
  7. Ah thanks, it's a side effect of forum updates. I forgot to fix it. Will get that done now!
  8. These livestreamers are part of either our Media Group, or stream on KSPTV. Send a private message to myself and @Badie if you wish to apply for either group Let me know if the problem persists later this week.
  9. For those asking, to the best of my knowledge the console keys will work even in regions where the game hasn't been released yet, but might require you to register an account in a region where the game was released.
  10. If you want to organise something yourselves I won't stop you, but as far as Squad is concerned we must likely don't have the time to organise anything around it, and cannot accept any liability by promoting it etcetera. As a result I don't think we can have people link to a GoFundMe or something similar either.
  11. Hello everyone! It's time to announce the results of our contest. Let's see how you, as a group, performed: there are a few things to note indeed. Overall, a grand total of 578 people entered the contest, yet only 28 people (4.8%) managed to answer all five questions correctly. To point fingers: question 2 seems to be the main culprit here, but more on that later. Let's go through the questions in order! Question 1 The first public version of Kerbal Space Program was launched: June 24th, 2011 March 3rd, 2012 July 17th, 2014 April 27th, 2015 On June 24th 2011 Felipe 'HarvesteR' Falanghe released the very first public version of Kerbal Space Program. Back then the game was still free, and you can download all old versions (up to 0.13.3) right here on the forums if you're curious to see what KSP looked like back then. 73% of people who responded answered this question correctly. Some other landmark dates were included in the possible answers: March 3rd 2012 was the release date of the first paid version of KSP (0.14), and April 27th 2015 marked the release of version 1.0. Question 2 In 2015 we partnered with this organization to bring new content to the game: NASA ESA Asteroid Day This was a trick question! While many of you may remember the Asteroid Redirect Mission that was developed in cooporation with NASA, this was actually part of update 0.23.5, which was released in 2014. The answer we were looking for is Asteroid Day, whom we partnered with in 2015 to release the Asteroid Day mission pack as an official mod. Only 124 people (21.5%) answered this question correctly. If you wish to find out more about Asteroid Day, check out their website. The mod is available for download from Curseforge. Question 3 You have ____ unique parts to build your spacecraft with 207 239 290 312 KSP gives you a total of 290 unique parts to build rockets with. Those of you who quickly counted the amount of folders in the KSP parts section will have found a total of 239, but when you go ingame and add up all the parts you'll see that you can use 290 of them. It's a big increase compared to the earliest versions of KSP we talked about in question 1. 290 people (35.3%) answered the question correctly. Question 4 Last week marked the 47th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing on the Moon. Another famous spacecraft was the first to land on a celestial body on the very same day (but in a different year). Which was it? Venera 7, on Venus Philae, on comet 67P Cheryumov- Gerasimenko Viking 1, on Mars The first of the pair of spaceflight history questions was answered very well. 461 out of 578 people (79.8%) were correct in answering that on the same day as the Apollo 11 landing (but in a different year) the Viking 1 was the first spacecraft to touch down on Mars. It's a nice mission to recreate in KSP if you're looking to learn the tips and tricks of going to different planets. Beware of Duna's atmosphere though: it's very thin, but can still cause your spacecraft to overheat when going in for a landing! Question 5 Who was the oldest astronaut to fly on the Space Shuttle? Story Musgrave Eugene Cernan John Glenn James Irwin The latter of the space history questions: who was the oldest astronaut to fly on the Space Shuttle? The answer is John Glenn, who flew on STS-95 on the 29th of October, 1998 at the respectable age of 77 years old! This actually made him not only the oldest astronaut to fly on the Space Shuttle, but also the oldest person to fly into space period. Quite an accomplishment! 484 of you (83.7%) Googled their way to this answer successfully. The results! As we announced, we're giving away five keys for PlayStation 4 and five for XBox One. To draw the winners we first checked for people who had multiple entries (those who entered twice had their later entries removed, those who entered more than twice were disqualified), and filtered the results for people who had answered all questions correctly. As mentioned before 28 people answered all questions correctly: @ludogren, Jfigueredo, @karlo123cub, John the Physicist, ennexs, dsbookbug, ThomasTheHuman, Numinar, @VikranthDaBoss, Harold_Fi, DanJourney, @mszlatolobov, @Wodoings, @vealfromfu, @_PRATTER_, Iamsodarncool, JoePatrick1, @Fenrir1995, Pilotdan747, BananaIsAFruit, @koukier12, albundy33, andruszkow, cerebrate, @TimHendrik, @truck_doug, and @drivec! You all did an amazing job here. To select the eventual winners we divided these people into a group for XBox keys and a group for PS4 keys (as indicated on the contest form), and drew winners at random. *drumroll* Congratulations to @karlo123cub, Numinar, @mszlatolobov, @Wodoings, and @vealfromfu who won a PlayStation 4 key, and to JoePatrick1 Pilotdan747, BananaIsAFruit, @koukier12, and @drivec who won an XBox One key! I will contact you via email shortly.
  12. There's always a way, but just like with KSP, any modifications you make to the 'stock' software will make updating the software that much harder.
  13. Unfortunately it seems that's the only fix available at the moment.
  14. Looking into it a bit more the button is doing some very very strange things. I've removed the functionality until we figure it out
  15. Can anyone confirm this? It works for me although when inserting the album I only see a link until the post is submitted
  16. Hi guys, A bit of confusion set in I see. There was no forum update yesterday, although we are planning one for this week. The current version of the software has a bug whereby if two accounts are merged follow records can in some cases be deleted, and it appears that's what happened yesterday when I personally merged two accounts. I'm sorry that the bug hit, but at this point I don't think there's much we can do to restore the follow records as one of the reasons the update hasn't been applied is that we're waiting to resolve an issue with database backups. Ironically, the bug in question will be fixed once the update is applied.
  17. Also in new posts? You'll have to re-insert albums into a post to fix them. For example:
  18. Hi Mallen, we don't have a release date yet, but we'll share more news as soon as we have it
  19. I think I've been able to fix the Imgur albums. Downside is that we had to switch to the new layout at last, which isn't optimised for PCs.
  20. For similar reasons I sometimes use this one
  21. The game became available at noon in the UK, we're looking into things but right now I personally suspect that the game will be available from noon in your local timezone onwards (noon PDT for the U.S.)
