when I hit paste then import it doesn't give me a success message and doesn't put the macro in the list for my toon. Also for macros I DO have when I click on create icon THAT doesn't work either.

Mr. Minahan, I hate problems, lol.. Okay so I went into WoW and copied and pasted a macro straight from a blog as opposed to a .LUA file whose text I just copied and pasted. It worked. For the icons I discovered that if I create a NEW macro in WoW with nothing in the body and just a question mark for an icon and when I click save, Bam, I get a ? in GS. Then I can use it. (Oh, I also deleted the GS-MyMacro folder, not sure how that wasn't deleted before)
I am going to chalk this up to User Error(or Selficus Stupidious)..

Just out of curiosity, what language is this written in?

Anyway, just for info purposes, here is my setup:
MacBook Pro 13" (yes, yes, I know, WoW on a MAC??)
OS: MacOS Sierra 10.12.6
MEM: 16 gig
VER: 2.1.04 GSE: Advanced Macros

Oh and no error messages..

Hi Fredric I hate problems as well. I use WoW on both a mac and windows and found weird problems where things like pasting from IE in Windows was different than chrome or safari on a mac. I ask the dumb questions as when something like this occurs it usually is something quirky that I haven't thought to test on. There's for example a few people running on Linux with Wine and that can really do your head in. Could you do me a favour - in your WTF folder there is a GSE.lua file. If you could upload it I can do a check to see if there is anything in there that might cause a problem. TimothyLuke

there is no GSE.lua in the WTF folder, but there is one in WTF/Account/"name on account"/Saved variables folder.. Should that be in the WTF root?

Okay, cool. Just tried importing a macro from forums in WLM and it said import successful, but there is no macro in the list.

TimothyLuke · Answer 6 · 2017-08-11T23:02:16.000Z

Hi Fredric What is different between your install and mine? I really need a lot more information before I can trouble shoot this. To start with what version of GSE are you using, which OS, and are you getting any error messages? If you disable all other mods does it then work? How many character macros does your character have in the WoW /macros interface? TimothyLuke

has it since appeared?

FenrisWolfe · Answer 8 · 2017-08-19T19:57:43.000Z

Sorry for delay, yes, there were lines in the macro before the actual macro that I believe was preventing it from actually being imported even tho add-on said it was. So as an example.. THe line in bold, if kept, prevents import but will still give a success message. When deleted the import is actually successful.

local Sequences = GSMasterSequences -- Dont remove this

---Demon Hunter---
---Havoc---
---Tier 2: Prepared is the optimal choice in a vast majority of situations, Demon Blades is better in AoE situation especially when you have taken Fel Barrage as a Talent---
---Tier 5: Momentum is the default choice in this tier, but take Nemesis instead if you feel unconfortable moving around at an encounter---
---Tier 7 : Chaos Blades = Single target, Fel Barrage = Multi-target---

These were macros that were .lua's as part of gs-addon packs such as "GS-DarkRamz" or "GS-OakMacros" that I had installed using Curse (now Twitch).

Wait a sec -
local Sequences = GSMasterSequences -- Dont remove this

Thats from GSE1 - If you leave that it yes it will report success as the parsing is successful but it wont return the macro.

The macros you are trying to import were for WOW 7.0.3. 7.1.5 introduced a lot of changes and those macros needed to be updated as they will not perform for you with how the classes have changed between 7.1 and now. They may work but you will be missing out on about 200-400k dps.
