I'm currently leveling a DK to catch up with my shammies and am using 4 of them to run my DK through the lower HFP instances. Well, I got the Cruel's Intentions quest this morning and loaded up the 4 shammies on my other 4 accounts. I hit 6 (follow) and noticed one wouldn't follow. I look at her action bars, and all the "?" icons were gone (macros). Load up her macro screen, and there's like two of the very first macros I made, which I don't even use since I went to the FTL setup. Any ideas how to get those macros back? If you use the FTL setup you know how many and how complicated those macros are :(

Yeah, this happens if the game decides to load an old macro file that you have laying around in the folders. Happened to me when i logged on one of the accounts on a different computer once.

To get my macros back, I copied the macros file from one of the other accounts to get the bulk of it, then edited some that were account specific to make them the right version, and had to remake some that i'd had on only the account that lost its macros.

I seem to recall that BLIZ has some slash commands now

/m backupMacros
/m restoreMacros

or some such thing..

I believe that it allows you to use the backup to make a fresh copy of your macros on local disk, and restore would overwrite in game. Spose it makes it easy to edig your macros offline.

Q u o t e:

Server-Side Settings
* NEW - BackupMacros()
* NEW - DownloadSettings()
* NEW - RestoreMacros()
* NEW - UploadSettings()

Found that on the WoW forums searching for that string DgtlSorcrs ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=User&userID=15947'), thanks. Hopefully it works, or it's going to be really frustrating everytime that happens.
