Newbie Question Two: chat window doesn't display my rolls.

When I run a macro, I see a 3d dice resolution. However, I get no info in the chat window. For example, I have an Ability called "Initiative" set up for my character, a donkey. /me gets backed into a corner and is forced to fight! /r 1d20 + @{DEX} Initiative When I run that macro from the Edit window or from the macro bar, I expect to see results in chat window. What am I missing here?
Are you only having this issue in the one campaign? Do rolls from other members of the campaign show in the chat window?
I figured it out. This was due to a syntax error on my part, which caused a couple of strange errors. I was adding an operator after the die roll. Doing this: /r 1d20+@{Perception} Instead of this: /r 1d20@{Perception} The problem was that I already had the same operator in the "Perception" attribute (e.g. "Perception +5.") The two pluses made the macro fail without notification, not only rolling 3d dice without notification in the chat window but also creating 3d dice images on the tabletop that did not disappear.
Glad you got it sorted out. :)
