Macro Whisper Issue

Hi. I made a Macro to roll several dice, and it works fine: &{template:default} {{name=Quick Roll All Dice}} {{d4 = [[d4]][[d4]][[d4]][[d4]][[d4]][[d4]]}} {{d6 = [[d6]][[d6]][[d6]][[d6]][[d6]][[d6]]}} {{d8 = [[d8]][[d8]][[d8]][[d8]][[d8]][[d8]]}} {{d10 = [[d10]][[d10]][[d10]][[d10]][[d10]][[d10]]}} {d12 = [[d12]][[d12]][[d12]][[d12]][[d12]][[d12]]}} {{d20 = [[d20]][[d20]][[d20]][[d20]][[d20]][[d20]]}} {{d100 = [[d100]][[d100]][[d100]][[d100]][[d100]][[d100]]}} But I need it to whisper to me the GM so my players can't see it. So I added "/w gm" to the very front: /w gm &{template:default} {{name=Quick Roll All Dice}} {{d4 = [[d4]][[d4]][[d4]][[d4]][[d4]][[d4]]}} {{d6 = [[d6]][[d6]][[d6]][[d6]][[d6]][[d6]]}} {{d8 = [[d8]][[d8]][[d8]][[d8]][[d8]][[d8]]}} {{d10 = [[d10]][[d10]][[d10]][[d10]][[d10]][[d10]]}} {d12 = [[d12]][[d12]][[d12]][[d12]][[d12]][[d12]]}} {{d20 = [[d20]][[d20]][[d20]][[d20]][[d20]][[d20]]}} {{d100 = [[d100]][[d100]][[d100]][[d100]][[d100]][[d100]]}} I hit the [Test Macro] button on the 'Edit Macro' pop-up window, and it whispers the output to me the GM as I need. All is good, so far. Then I saved it and added it to my Quick Bar at the bottom of the screen. Then I clicked on the Macro button, and it outputs the rolls in the open in the chat window, for everyone to see. The test button worked fine with whispered output, but the Macro button isn't working as intended: No whisper of the output. So I also tried clicking on 'Show as a Token Action' to see if a Token Button would work and whisper the output, but no deal. It is not whispering either. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug? Thanks for any help you can offer. Here's my setup: OS: X11 Linux x86_64 Browser: Opera 45.0.2552.635 (Chrome 58.0.3029.81)
I'd check to make sure there is not a space before the /w
Works for me. Note that only Firefox and Chrome are officially supported by Roll20, but I can't imagine this being a browser issue. Try inspecting your macro and make sure it is all one line, with no returns. Also, are you testing the macro as a player or as GM? A player will see anything that player whispers to the GM, but the rest of the players will not see it.
Thanks so much for your replies!  The culprit was the notorious space before the /w  Thanks for the heads-up on that!
