I made a small scroll explaining what to do when you fall (I had it on my list of things to do for a long time and I finally did - OOC thanks to 2 days without internet access). It's intended at new exiles. It can be found here (http://drablak.puddleby.info/frameNav/FrameTravel/fallen.html).

I already picked up a typo that I'll fix tomorrow. Comments and corrections welcomed as always.

I think it's great! Very informative and something every new exile needs to know.

You might want to mention that if you miss a toggle or mistoggle you can toggle like crazy to indicate that you made a mistake.

Ok, but what do you do when you miss a toggle or mistoggle? I thought you just stopped answering until the person locating asked you if you had made a mistake. Is that right?

Just read the page, very well done. I'm sure its going to be a good asset for all those newbies out there that need a lesson in toggling. :)

Good job! When I miss-toggle, I just wait until they ask to confirm.

Well it depends- but I find that sometimes if you mistoggle, the person starts going on that chain of questions and it can be very confusing to them- sometimes they take a long time to ask for confirmation. Most folks know that if you toggle like 3 times in a row, that means somewhere along the line you made a mistake, and at that point they typically start asking for confirmations, which can sometimes save time.

When someone falls silent when toggling, the first thing I think of is that they are having "weather" related problems. The second thing I think is that someone else has rescued them. That they made a mistake would be about my third guess. With mad toggling, a mistake would be my first guess.

Ok, I'll add something about mad-toggling when mistoggling [:)]

Thanks for the feedback everyone!
