-Since the release of Mists of Pandaria, the Battleground and Raid channels appear to have been combined into one called "Instance". My macros which use SendChatMessage no longer work. I have tried changing "BATTLEGROUND" to "INSTANCE" but they still don't work. If anyone has further information regarding how this has changed, please post... my custom-made macros were quite useful.
