| This is a pretty urgent thing to report because it could damage or potentially completely ruin your video card if it's ignored. The latest NVIDIA drivers, 196.75-WHQL released on March 2nd, 2010 are causing issues with the video card fan control while playing Blizzard (and other) games. This is caused by the Automatic Fan Speed feature being broken in the latest drivers. The games included are: World of Warcraft, StarCraft II Beta and Warcraft III. If you play any of these games (which I'm... |

| Going to share this news with everyone. Kody over at World of Raids has said it the best so I'm just going to repeat what he's said over there. Anyone who has an authenticator attached to their account should run a search (and probably an antivirus scan in case it's on the threat list already) immediately and ensure the file emcor.dll does not exist on your computer. This file is one reported to be allowing hackers to access World of Warcraft accounts that have authenticators attached to... |

| There seem to be some server problems with Curse.com. This will affect Curse.com and it also seems Curse Client downloads. CurseForge/WowAce do not seem to be affected, so as a developer you can continue to update addons. For end users, if you wish to download addons you can access them from the project page (http://www.wowace.com/addons/arl/ for example). Click on the files tab and you can download from there. The people who make things work are aware of the problem, and are working on it.... |

| A big deal lately with the security of wow accounts seems to be phishing. Fake whispers in-game are stating to show up nearly as much as gold advertising. With the admitted leak of email addresses on the WarcraftRealms website earlier in December due to a security hole, you need to be more cautious as ever, as phishing email is now back on the rise. The email read: These people will stop at nothing to get your wow details, here is a perfect example of a classic phishing email: At first... |

| Recently we became aware of a needed change in how we've been handling payments to international authors. While we'll still not need to withhold anything, we do need to start collecting a W-8BEN for any Non-US Citizen who wishes to redeem more than $600 worth of points a year. More information can be found here and here. Nothing has changed for US Citizens. We still need a valid W-9 on file if a US Citizen wishes to redeem more than $600 worth of points a year.

Written in C# and utilizing Microsoft WPF technology, the Curse Client now sports a modern user interface and an... |

| Hey beautiful people, ckknight here. Went to BlizzCon this year and got a bunch of good info regarding StarCraft 2. I'm going to be touching on the map-related info, as that's what this site's about. Authors will be able to publish maps directly to Battle.net. This means that this site will not try to focus on being a user distribution site, but rather a developer resource. The map editor is going to be far, far more powerful than even the Warcraft 3 editor. All features of the WC3 editor,... |

| The development team here at Curse has been hard at work on the Curse Client 4.0. Crunch Gear was given a sneak peak at the newest alpha client, 4.0. It's been entirely rewritten to optimize performance, speed, and usability. Of course it's going to pack in some new features as well. It's only in Alpha so we can only share this screen shot of the updated UI. I (Kaelten) also wanted to take the opportunity to post a screenshot of our upcoming mac client. Our mac users are important to us, and... |

Yes searching will no longer suck, there have been substantial enhancements in the searching algorithms to make search results more accurate. Private messaging system. Some of you may have noticed the private messaging system on up the top right. You can now message other users on the site. Rendering optimizations. There has been a lot of changes to the... |

| Hey beautiful people, ckknight here. There has been some hub-bub about project approvals recently and one way we figured that we could help on the backend side of things is to introduce the concept of experimental projects. If you have a cool idea but nothing fleshed out, your project is best considered "experimental". This is especially true for libraries. Many of the best libraries out there have a lot of rehashing, discussing, even without much in the way of code. Previously, a lot of... |

You can visit it at https://store.SC2Mapster.com/. If you redeem an item, you won't receive it immediately. For the first little while, I'll be going through and approving all the redemptions manually, just to make sure everything's running smoothly. In case you didn't read the previous announcements, in order to... |

I've been slaving over the keyboard for the past few days getting some cool features in that I hope a lot of you will appreciate: Private Messaging Previously, there wasn't any real good way of sending a message to another user on the site, hopefully this will help that out. Please provide constructive feedback if you can. You can PM more than one person at a time. You can also specify people as CC (like in e-mail). This is a proper conversation system rather than a... |

| Many people have very specific likes, and some people (like those with eye problems) have very specific needs. I think it's important to try to give a way for everyone to be able to use the site. There are some very hard realities. We're not the greatest designers. At times we can bust our asses for days and be lucky to have something the won't make you run in terror. We're also under a very heavy workload and have a lot going on, and there is only two of us. So please keep in mind that the... |
