"Re: promotions. If you are getting the line "Thomas needs to be promoted to Expert," then click on that line (as if it were a link), and if you have the required gold to pay for the promotion, he'll get promoted. It isn't an automatic thing that happens whenever you accost the teacher"

Yes, I do click on the link and nothing whatever happens. I have over 3000 gold. Surely that is enough to promote a guy to expert?
