Solar System plugin suddn failure, 2 systems

Asked by Randy Flynn on 2018-09-10

Have been using 0.16.1 for a while now, successfully using the solar system editor plugin to enter minor planet designations which are then loaded and displayed with no problems. That was until 2 days ago, but now all searched objects can not be found.
I have tried this on two different computers that loaded the objects perfectly until two days ago. Any idea of a what may have happened or a workaround?

Thanks

MPC changed the protocol for access to their website and Stellarium 0.16.1 cannot use old URL now.

Working again, must have been a server issue.

Can you help with this problem?
