[3.5] Macros Stopped Working

Is there a server-side reason macros would stop working? I've been slowly modifying the D&D 3.5 character sheet to suit my game so I changed up the weapon and spell sections. I have some weapons macros that were working fine on Monday, but they're not today. I don't want to go in and start changing things if it's not on my end.
Are you the Creator of the affected game? If so, could you please try clearing Clearing the game's Chat Archive (note: not Clearing your Current Chat Log ). A GM might want to copy/back up the Chat Archive before the Creator clears it. Is this issue occuring for only on your one Character, or are others affected?
Yes, I'm the creator of the game. I was troubleshooting while waiting for a reply. It was only affecting one character. I have "universal equation" fields players can enter data into that is meant to be added to every attack and damage roll. While more than one player had something in the universal damage field (the affected character had the Power Attack question, another question had a Hideous Blow question), only one was affected. I just modified the sheet to put parentheses around the calls to the universal question fields and it seems to have cleared up the issue. I still find it odd that it only affected one character even though the code was the practically the same.

The only thing I can think of is that the parentheses prevent the issues that occur when you have two subsequent addition signs beside each other within an inline roll (e.g. 1 + +1).

That sounds like the case. I often have to remind my players not to add a plus sign in the dialogs because it puts two plus signs next to each other which negates the whole thing. I guess the parentheses breaking those two plus signs up solves the problem. But thanks for looking into it!
