Can you be more specific as to what type of macro? If you mean all macros then no, I haven't had a problem. However, the only macros that I've used in the last 24 hours have been some simple combat ones and my survey macro.

I have made a crafting macro. I have copied it 6 times for 6 crafting tools, but whenever i log out then in, half of it is gone. That is my macro problem.

There is a max length to macros. The first time you make it the length wont matter. But the next time you log in and call it it will be cut short. What you do is take the second half of what you want in the macro and make it a second macro with the first calling the second.

I had a similar problem where it would truncate everything after the first line. It turned out that somewhere in the copy/paste process, it was inserting a null character before the semicolon.

What looked like this
/nextcraftingStage;

Was actually this
/nextcraftingStage_;

Deleting those null characters fixed the problem.

The paste function in the game makes a mess of macros. Macros that are pasted often get truncated every time you logout. The only solution is to type the whole thing by hand or repaste the macro after every login. From what I have been told this has been a bug for a very long time.
