Nested Macros and whispering to GM

Hey guys, I just saw a video about nesting macros and had the idea to make several rollable tables, so I have a name generator with first and last names. I created a macro that rolls on human male first names and human surnames. Then I created a new macro, rolling on on female first names and the same surname table. Both macros were created to whisper to the GM. I nested both macros in another macro, that whispers "buttons" to the GM which, when clicked, execute the name macros. My problem: When called by themselves, both name macros whisper their results. When called by the "buttons", they ignore the whisper command and post the names openly in chat. Anyone any idea why this happens?
It'd help a lot to actually see the macro's you're using to be able to see what's happening and test it out. If I had throw out a wild guess, you may just simply be forgetting "/w gm (rest of the macro)"

Okay, no problem, please excuse the fact that there are german macro names. The macro nesting the two others: /w gm &{template:default} {{name=Namen}} {{[Human male](!;#Mensch-männlich) [Human female](!;#Mensch-weiblich)}} The Mensch-männlich .macro (The other one is basically the same!): /w gm &{template:default} {{name=Mensch, männlich}} {{Name:=[[1t[Vorname-Mensch-männlich]]] [[1t[Nachname-Mensch]]]}} See screenshot for results. 1st macro is whispered, second is posted openly.

What's the code for the two sub-macros look like?  #Mensch-männlich and  #Mensch-weiblich Do you have /w gm in those, too?

I posted one of them already, the other one is basically the same. Yes, both have /w gm in them. When I use the "test Macro" button, they work perfectly fine by themselves, only when called by the nesting macro, they will not whisper to GM. EDIT: Strangely enough, I didn't change anything but now it works... Dunno why and how but this thread can be /closed
