To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Hey Eveyone

Don't forget to save all the changes and have fun. I haven't tested this yet with mods applied but I will and let everyone know.
I have tried playing some mods with this fix in place and my view is messed up on most Mods i have to revert back down to a lower resolution to see my top bar.
