    Default Chat on the Fret

    I added a chat to the Fret as have been suggested.

    The link to is at the top nav bar. http://www.thefret.net/chat.php

    I am not sure yet if we will keep this chat. Let's try it for a while and see what you guys think. If it doesn't get used or if it gets abused, then I'll take it down.

    Fantastic!
    I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

    I gave it a shot the other day and it locked up my whole computer and I had to reboot.
    I just tried it and I got on but I could not type anything. I removed the text that was there with the button at the bottom but I could not type any text.

    I am using Win XP Pro with Firefox.
