Macros suddenly no longer work, at all.

Inexplicably, without changing anything, suddenly all macros do not function whatsoever in one of my games.  Even making a new macro as simply as /roll 1d6 or /em says "Hello world!" is entirely unresponsive when testing, using from the chat box, or using from a token / macro bar.  Weirder still is it blanks out all of the macros in the chat log when you try to resolve any macro whatsoever--though refreshing the page restores them.  Baffling and incredibly frustrating, any help would be greatly appreciated! Previously functioning macros as seen in the chat log, with no changes having been made since: Chat log after attempting to use even a very very simple new macro, let alone any existing macros: So not only does it not post or process or even kick out an error message, it bizarrely goes back and blanks out all instances of macros in the chat log too.  Refreshing the browser page restores the chat log, but nothing else changes. Edit: Going into any of my other games, macros are working fine; for whatever reason, they've become completely busted in this singular game for me.   Copying all my macros to an external document, deleting -all- of them from the game, and then making a new macro that just /em Hello! still does the same behavior--it doesn't post to the chat, and it blanks out all the macros in the chat log. If I clear the current chat log and try even a simple /em Hello! macro, it brings the full chat log back and breaks it again.

A game's Creator is often able to fix issues with their Text Chat by clearing the 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.

Clearing the chat archive entirely resolved the issue--so I presume it was something to the effect of an errant macro leaving something dangling in the chat log or the like.  I should've copied it over before the clear, my apologies--it was predominately a very long log of testing macros so I hadn't really hesitated to just clear it entirely.  D'oh.  Thank you for the swift replies!

No worries, it happen A LOT lol, usually the result of some missing closing brackets or some such. Glad you got it sorted though :) Happy rolling
