Health Bar resets to First Level HP??

Hi, I scanned the posts and I don't *think* this is a repeat of an issue that has been resolved. I hope. Anyway, here goes.... In this Pathfinder setting, I have two separate issues, listed below. Each of these issues without fail occurs once we actually all show up for game time, not when I am spending hours during the week setting everything up (this makes taking screenshots rather difficult. If this persists, I will beg the party's indulgence and spend a few moments taking screenshots). 1. The party's Cleric's health bar keeps disappearing whenever we arrive at a new map and I need to drag her onto the board. I have created a whole new token, set up the connection to the correct character sheet, attached Bar 1 to the hit points and Bar 2 to AC total. This is not my first merry-go-round, so I also made darn sure that her name, Bar 1, and both auras can be seen by everyone and edited by the player as well as by me. After this, I deleted the old token from the cleric's character sheet and saved the new token with everything done the way I wanted. Inevitably, when we go to a new screen and I drag the token from the journal, she does not have a health bar. 2. The remaining 3 character tokens seem to reset their health maximum to what it was at 1st or 3rd level. What I mean is, that the dwarven fighter pops out with a huge health bar that's eight times the size of the actual bar, overflowing to the right, as do the rogue's and the bard's. The dwarf's health, when I go to the edit screen, shows "86/14", the 86 being his current health, and the 14 was actually his maximum at 1st level! I have checked and double-checked his character sheet, and do not see how this could happen. Same with the other character sheets. They add in the dice amount of hit points, allow the character sheet to add in their constitution bonuses per level, and have the total. They are upgrading to level 10 this weekend, so this should definitely NOT be an issue still. As this is a group I have gamed with for many years in person as well as online, we use very very few macros (two players none at all), and I trust their dice rolls. So, since they haven't added any macros to the character sheet at all, I don't see how they should be experiencing "token confusion", if you will.  Please note that, while not a deal-breaker, this creates a couple minutes of readjusting with each map, along with my colorful vernacular. While I am grateful that this website is free and has many wonderful qualities, this one detail has become irksome and I am confused as to why it started showing up a few months ago. I am aware of how to properly link a token to a character sheet, and have done so according to the explanations offered in the tutorials. My other NPCs and monsters pose no difficulty and never do this. I use the Pathfinder Legacy character sheets (PC version) for the players, and the NPC for everything that I personally control. I have re-set these token bars numerous times, remembered to Save the token changes, and then to go to the character sheets and delete/save the new token for said character. (By re-set, I have re-selected "None" and then "Character's name", made sure that the appropriate person could control it, made sure that the see/edit boxes were set even though THOSE never change, and then select "None" and then "HP" for Bar 1. Bar 1 is the only one I am having an issue with. I am the sole GM for the campaign, so there is no co-GM accidentally changing things for me. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I may, out of desperation, change it to Bar 3 for the upcoming game, but I am concerned as to the mistake I must be making somewhere here. Thank you in advance.
I got my husband to log on, and both of his character's tokens did the deviation immediately, even though I was already logged in and staring at the screen. Apparently, the cleric's 2nd value disappears, as in there is no number in the second box of Bar 1, even though it still shows as linking to her HP on her character sheet. The rogue's max now shows as 35, which would be accurate from his first day playing several months ago, as he was 4th level. Now at 9th level, that is not accurate as a maximum for health. Screenshots:
Shots of edit pages (1st for cleric, who has no visible health bar, and 2nd for rogue, who has an overenthusiastic health bar:
I had him jump in and out. The problem stays until I fix it, and if I log in and out it doesn't change. However, when the player tied to that token logs in, the token's second value jumps to whatever maximum it had started as, waaaay back in June! (the cleric was an NPC and originally not intended to be a PC, so she kind of had no health bar when I made her, the bard and fighter started at level 1, and the rogue was re-introduced under a different player by level 4). This is so weird.

That's strange Trinette. When you look at the Attributes & Abilities tab, do you see the attributes listed for HP?  Have you tried deleting them and reentering them on the sheet?  What do you have for @{HP-formula}? This is used to determine hp max.

Not sure if it can cause the problem, but I inspected the default HP formula " (@{CON-mod} * @{level}) + @{total-hp} "  which appears to be missing a closing ")".  The formula should be " (@{CON-mod} * @{level}) + @{total-hp}) ".
I tried to delete and re-enter in all of this information. Unfortunately, it didn't reinstate ANY max HP. So, although I am a lazy so-and-so, I am creating new character sheets and typing them all in again, by hand. It's not the way I planned on spending my evening, but at least it will be better when we play. Thank you for your input. Those were the problems....I just wish the sheet had taken them and worked.
Ok, new problem. Creating a brand new character sheet, literally copying over by hand each value. Now when I try to input the attributes and hit points and levels, It does not have anything on the character sheet as max hit points. When I try to create a brand new token, and assign Bar 1 to HP, the it reads " 0 / ((floor((16 + 2 + 0 + 0) / 2) - 5) * (9 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0)) + (65 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0))" What the heck happened? It's a new character sheet, and I put in no macros whatsoever. .
This is what he looks like now, a blank HP bar.
So somewhere on my character sheet, there is this weird formula, and I literally cannot find it. The Max HP on the actual sheet is grey-blank, even manually deleting and adding in the HP value on the Attributes tab does nothing. It also looks like it is not factoring in Constitution bonuses at all. I have never seen that weird "floor" formula, ever, and I cannot locate it on the character sheet. Right now, the only way I can salvage this at all is if I input the max value as it is, and re-save the token, only it will not adjust if he levels on his character sheet. It's like I tried to mix red and white and got green.
Now the cleric's token is reacting the same way, with the same weird formula in the 2nd HP value. This is making no sense. I had recreated her character sheet and token yesterday, and it worked.This is incredibly frustrating, and I have to run this game tomorrow.
