Song of the Week #1!

~ Figgy ~ 7th March, 2010

So we're going to start off this new venture with a song everyone knows. Since today is my Birthday and I turned 25 after an awesome weekend in London, the song I have selected certainly has a theme! It's a song that everyone needs to have in their library, so I hope you download this to play to your friends on their special days.

So without further ado , our Song of the Week is Happy Birthday - For He's a Jolly Good Fellow, added by Toot of Landroval. Thanks Toot! Watch the video here, and registered users please don't forget that if you download the song and like it, you can use the star rating system - now fixed - in My Lute (near the log out button) to give the song the 3 cheers it deserves!



Thanks for transcribing this, Toot!

A Quick Update

~ Figgy ~ 4th March, 2010

We're aware that you're currently unable to rate songs in your library. It'll be fixed ASAP. Not that anyone noticed. *Grumbles about people not rating songs.*

Also, the Delete Function is now up and running. If you accidentally upload the same ABC twice or realize you've messed it up somehow and it has to go, just hit the delete button. You can only delete your ABCs and you have to be logged in to do so. There are no confirmation requests and no returning your ABCs once they're deleted, so please only press that button if you really mean it!

Finally, Warden is trying to track any new errors that he's creating by restructuring the code of TFL. If you get any errors, please post in our Thread and let us know so my manslave can fix them.

Changes to The Fat Lute

~ Figgy ~ 2rd March, 2010

Hi everyone! So Turbine came to the rescue of Warden's account and handed it back to him. Thanks Turbine! The black cloud has passed and left us with a warm fuzzy feeling that translates to changes for The Fat Lute!

The first of these changes is that I finally have my grubby hands on the front page! I'm going to try and update it a bit more regularly to highlight some ABCs, keep you guys posted on anything that's new, and cuss out Warden to see how long it takes for him to notice.

Warden is currently working on adding a delete function to TFL, so you can delete your own ABCs if you choose. This will save me a lot of work! In the mean time, he has fixed my delete function, so I've taken a whole load of duplicate ABCs off of TFL. After that, we'll try and get some browsing by category functions added to help you guys find the right ABCs and to stop me from shitting kittens about the database.

We are certainly open to suggestions, so if there's anything you're dying to see please post on our threads in the LotRO boards.

Happy Playing!
