I have this happen too alot its just a bug, If you change the macro to a conv lower for a bit it will work but then the bug fixes its self and you have to change it back

Sounds like you're having the same problem as the other guy who posted in the FP macro thread earlier...
The Lag Monster is screwiing up your timings...
Increase the pauses across the board and see if that solves your problem.
And if you're still getting it EVERY time after that, then double check your macro to make sure that it progesses through the menus correctly.
/ui action conversationResponse5; <<--------- I'd like to resign from the faction.
/pause X;
/ui action conversationResponse3; <<--------- I'd like to make a donation.
/pause X;
/ui action conversationResponse0; <<--------- I'll transfer 10000 credits to you.
From the way you're describing it, it's missing the conversationResponse3 step and going straight from 5 to 0...in which case you would be getting the resignation dialogue every time. Also, make sure you're ending all of the lines in your macro with a semicolon, otherwise that line won't get executed properly.
And remember the "ui action" part of the commands. The first time I retyped those macros, I forgot to include the "ui action" and just putting /conversationResponse5; doesn't work very well.

Ok...just so I understand what's going on, so maybe I can help you solve it...I'll need some answers to a few questions.
1. Are you using the new "modular" macro, or the old "long form" macro?
2. Do you get the resignation window on EVERY loop?
3. Do you ever lose your option to go covert?
4. Are you selling from a public recuiter in an NPC city, or selling from a player-placed faction base?

wow I just got your new and improved FP macro running...all I can say is wow...what a time saver! No more calculating how much the fp should cost me..putting that in bank account..and then keeping an eye to make sure I do give send too much. Not to mention faster 
needs a sticky for sure.

Eh...I just made it a personal sticky...
I wouldn't want to clutter up the sticky section for every body...
Maybe Wes can work it into the Important Links post somewhere.
Or, I could just take the time and rewrite my FP sales guide one day and consolidate all of that information again...

Oh...beyond getting the answers for those quesitons...if I still can't solve it. There are only 2 more things I can suggest...
1. Type up the macro that you're using, word for word, letter for letter, character for character...and post it here so I can diagnose it. (There is actually a way to copy / paste it directly out of the game, but you'd have to specially map some keys).
or
2. Delete the current macro that you're using and recreate it from scratch...hopefully correcting any syntax errors that were in the previous one in the process...
