You can still find drivers for their older cards on their FTP server (even for the old nvidia TNT2 M64 - not that it would work with Planeshift or newest kernels, but it's still there).

Maybe the updater numbering should be something like 0.5.9.4-1, 0.5.9.4-2 to keep the version number with client (the same way like are released updates in openSUSE when it's just security or minor functionality update).

It could also help when you have more sacks or crates in inventory and you want to put the empty one into storage - it is hard to determine which one is empty when you only see list of them in the storage window. I'd vote for if when will be made feature request.

I got asked by another player, that he can't register to this forum because he has problems to read the clock at the registration page. So I told him that I will try it and I will send him password so he can log in and change the password to something else. I got through the registration page but I didn't received the registration email even I tried 2 servers in Czech republic but without success. Well, you suggest to use gmail.com, but I am sure it must be problem in the activation email because when I receive personal message in forum, I get the mail with the notice about the message without problem into the same mailbox (only different account name, which should not be problem). Also, there is strange message shown after I click the button in the forum page for registration/resend activation mail:

An Error Has Occurred!
A new activation email has successfully been sent.

And this email has not any filter for spam or something like that so it should not be problem too.
Please check the code for sending the activation email, as there must be something different against the new PM notification that blocks the messages somewhere in the delivery process (possibly line endings or so). Or at least activate the account for Vaneal and send me PM that it is activated, I will remove my email address from the profile and then I will send him the password via /tell so he can log in and use it (include the notice that he should change his password so nobody else can use it after he will be able to use it). Thank you.

Try to look on my post here http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=39197.msg443778, maybe it's same problem

You can use it also for items (at least from description) and not only for spells so it can be probably also used for other purposes than magic. So I don't know whether it's good idea.

Good idea. Additionally, when the trainer is training higher levels than is your current level, he should say something like: "I am sorry, but I am teaching only more experienced people than you are, but in <area/city> you should find someone, who can help you"
