I seem to be having a problem with my macro's truncating to just the first line after signing off and coming back in - these are not very long macro's. I have had it happen with ones as short as 4 lines and most are no longer than the 10 line good crafting macro in the sticky thread.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

One thing to check would be to make sureyou have a semi-colon on the end of each line.
Alternatively if you already have that a work around would be to make a macro.txt file and load it each time you log in, such that you only have to run the load file command rather than redo each macro.

Could you explain the macro.txt file a bit?

There is a max macro length. But it will allow you to exceed it after making it. Then it will truncate it. The way around this is to have the first macro call a second macro that would be the part that keeps getting truncated

Any idea what the max length is - I have 5 line macro's that get truncated. Let alone the crafting Macros that have been posted - they all get truncated to one line as soon as I leave the game and come back in?

I've had problems with a macro not saving to the macro.txt file correctly before, and it was a short 3 command macro. After rewriting that macro almost every day for a week, I ended up manually editing the macro file in the save directory for that character. Since then that macro has worked been loading correctly each time.

I have had macros get truncated but not down to anything less than 5 lines. My workaround was to create sub-macros and call them. For example, in my crafting macro I would write it line by line until Ifinish clicking in the resources, then call up a macro called 'finishcraftingnostation'or 'finishcraftingpractice.' I would make sure the next line was a short pause and then go back to the regular macro.
