The follow monitor needs some work, assuming it is possible to make it work better. I believe, just as once when one established a new /follow and got spammed with ``Lost the target!'' messages each time, that the red lights flashing are the same thing.... lies, if one is simply sending another /follow while one's toons are already follwing.

If you are following, and then issue a follow command again, technically you have stopped following and started following again. Hence the brief red flash on the lights. The follow ended event, might be able to tell me that the reason follow stopped was that a new follow command was issued. If that was the case, I would not need to update the "lights".

If you are using Jamba's follow monitoring, I suggest you use /jamba-follow master or /jamba-follow target <name> rather than /follow <name>. This way Jamba can manage the following warnings better.

I've been using a BigButton with /follow in it, until I revamp my macros and switch to strobing, and I've become very intimate with the follow monitor.... if people are toggling off strobing and seeing the lights dance for another 4 or 5 minutes that indicates quite a bit of backlog. From hitting /follow a several times in a row, it is looking like roughly 2 seconds for each monitor change of state. So I'm wondering if it is wise to use a one second strobe, let alone default to a one second strobe. Seems likes one is guaranteed to generate a backlog with a one second strobe. A two second strobe might possibly be able to stay even. Alternately, I'm wondering why the follow monitor is processing things so slowly.

Follow strobing turns off the monitoring. If follow strobing, you do not get any follow update messages, therefore, there is no backlog. There was a bug in older versions of Jamba where this was not the case. Make sure you are using the latest version.

Regarding the flight path error message of 'I cannot take the same flight as you. I do not know where to go.' -- can you check if toons are in differnent zones and not send the message in that case? If the team is mostly sitting in an instance, they don't need to know that the one in town repairing is using a flight path they don't know about

Sure, I can see if I can change that for you.
