Can't recover password/account details (bug: emails not being sent)

Use Novaworld Community Beta website[citation needed] |

On some configurations, option for full screen anti-aliasing is disabled. There isn't a known fix for it. Only alternative is forcing different AA settings from graphics card control panel.
