Work to be done by webmasters

[Sawatdee]

As the web sites becomes bigger, we really do appreciate feedback from visitors about mistakes we are making. We have several people working on the site now in different locations so it is possible things will get overlooked. Also, they are working on the web site in the evening after a hard day's work elsewhere! So, it is also easy for mistakes to be made.

We are looking for things like:

(1) images/sound files not uploaded properly
(2) songs translated on the forum but not on the web site yet (don't forget to check the waiting list on the front page&#33
(3) Translators not being credited properly for their work
(4) the song and lyrics don't match up
(5) spelling mistakes/typing errors in English and Thai.

etc.

We wish to thank Smiaw for his invaluable help and advice with making sure the web site is kept up-to-date.

For those who are wondering how you can help , maybe the sample below can give you an idea .

============================================
For your information , Suthee :

(1) 028.htm : Thanks to “xxx” (should be “Tonbo and Mike”)

(2) 162.htm : Thanks to “Smiaw” (should be “Justbob&quot

(3) 164.htm : The line ¢Í·ÕèÊͧ"ãËé"©Ñ¹¨Ðä´éäËÁ sounds more like ¢Í·ÕèÊͧ"ÁÕ"©Ñ¹¨Ðä´éäËÁ to me .

(4) The link below contains 3 translations from kapook (¹Ö¡àÊÕÂÇèÒʧÊÒà / ¼ÕâçàÂç¹ / àµçÁã¨ãËé ) which might be of interest to you :

It should point to (there are 3 midi songs here) :

Hi, I guess I'm not really sure where to send the webmaster about messed up links so I hope this would help. In Silly Fool's song "Nam Lai," the song plays through almost all the way and then cuts out. You might already know of this problem so I'm sorry if I am repeating it. By the way, this site is by far the best site to learn a little Thai by listening to some current songs!! I think it is great you have something like this online and I can't thank you enough!!! Keep up the great work!!!! Sending thanks from halfway around the world (USA)!!!!

[Suthee]

Smiaw - thanks all done. I think those lyrics (song 164) are correct already. The dead forum links on the front page are because we installed the forum again and the address changed. The * mark means the link is updated. The others we cannot find yet. We will upload the front page before we go home tonight. Can you please check then we have done everything?

skyrocket99 - sorry, we thought we had solved that the other day, but i see it is still the same. It should be ok now. Make sure you empty your cache before you refresh.

Well done . Except one slip --- my mistake , sorry .

(6) translators.htm :
(v) Remove <Odefey> Mint äÁè¢Öé¹ã¨ "mai keun jai"
should have been
(v) Shift <Odefey> Mint äÁè¢Öé¹ã¨ "mai keun jai" to <Justbob> Mint äÁè¢Öé¹ã¨ "mai keun jai"

So next time you'll have to
Add <Justbob> Mint äÁè¢Öé¹ã¨ "mai keun jai"

Thanks - done

i was reading some old posts finding this link to loso:
http://www.ethaimusic.com/lyrics/147.htm
i knew there was something wrong somewere...and then it hit me(well...not fysically...) when you use the new artist search and you locate loso its not there...but you can access it through the forums - meaning artists of the month is still lose but changed to 13 songs instead of 12.
Sorry if im not making much sence - been up for too long and about to hit the pillows(goto sleep in other words).
Thx for all the work you are doing with this site(and the related sites) - it is the best site on the web in my opinion...and i use it daily

[smiaw]

Initially the Bird's version of "mae" (song 112) was used.
Later , upon request , Suthee included the Loso's version of "mae" (song 147) using the same translation from Jonny.

Since the translation was first done on Bird's "mae" , maybe that is why it is not counted as a translation on Loso's songs.
Well , there may be another reason --- 13 doesn't sound nice to some of us .

[Sawatdee]

That is a good point. We have now added mae and after doing a search, we also added the second version of mai dtong huang chun. There are now 14 songs!

Thanks

[Odefey]

hehe and that makes the "bad" 13 into the nice 14
the reason 13 is bad, isnt that because at jesus last meeting with his descibles they were 12 descibles and 1 jesus, and one of the descibles was greedy and delivered jesus more or less on a silverplatter wich led to his execution and later resurection?
