3.5 Macro and Chat Help

I am having an issue with the chat window on Roll20 in a 3.5 campaign I am playing in. It just started after about a year of playing this campaign on and off. Whenever I click a macro button the chat window becomes useless - it stops recording chat/text/etc... and collapses all of the formatted tables that had previously been showing. It happens with any of the macros I use for some reason. Sample macro text is below. Please help me figure out what is going on. Thanks! The macro text below is for a barbarian full attack with a greatsword. &{template:default} {{name=Full Attack with Greatsword}} {{First attack = [[1d20+{@{Diothis|bab}+@{Diothis|strmod}}]]}} {{First damage = [[2d6+floor(1.5 @{Diothis|strmod})]]}} {{Second attack = [[1d20+@{Diothis|bab2}+@{Diothis|strmod}]]}} {{Second damage = [[2d6+floor(1.5 @{Diothis|strmod})]]}} <a href="http://imgur.com/a/2cXU8" rel="nofollow">http://imgur.com/a/2cXU8</a>

First, the campaign creator will probably have to clear the chat log (from outside the game) to fix the chat log. The chat log looks to me like you are missing a closing squiggly brace ( } ) somewhere but I don't see it in this particular macro.&nbsp; If you knew what macro you ran right when the issue started, we might be able to find it in that one. Also, to get the macro you are working on to calculate correctly, try changing the 1.5@{Diothis|strmod} to 1.5*(@{Diothis|strmod}) .&nbsp; You have to explicitly put in the multiplication or roll20 will try to give you something odd.&nbsp; I suppose there is a chance that the missing multiplication symbol is what confused the chat but I don't know for certain. Hope that helps.
I'll ask the GM to clear the chat log tomorrow and see if that fixes it. I did refresh and then made the change you suggested about the multiplication symbol and it made no change. It still shows up just fine in the chat archive but the in-game chat log is still messed up.
Re-setting the chat log on the GM's side fixed it. Thanks for the suggestion.
