You removed content formatting features so you could focus on formatting content? smh. Linking images doesn't work. Is this a ploy for more money?

Kate West-Walker added a comment - 14/Nov/2016 1:39 AM - edited Hi everyone,  The macros being unavailable is not a bug, these have recently been deprecated from Confluence Cloud. Your instance admin should have received an email around a month ago letting you know this change was coming. Here's a transcript of the email you would have received. Hi there, My name's Brian Swift, and I'm a product manager working in the Confluence team. I'm reaching out to you about your Atlassian Confluence Cloud site. In the next few weeks, we'll be discontinuing some of the content formatting macros that are currently bundled with Confluence Cloud. This is part of our overall strategy that aims to simplify Confluence and make it easier to use. We're removing these macros so we can focus on the core experience of formatting content in the Confluence editor. Once they're discontinued, you won't see the macros in the macro browser or be able to add new instances of the macros to your pages. Rest assured, you won't lose any data that's currently stored in the affected macros. The impacted macros Clickable  – The content in the macro will still show on your page, but it won't be clickable. If you need the URL you were linking to, edit the page—the macro will still show in the editor—and edit the macro. The URL will be there in the macro parameters. From here on, we recommend you use the in-built Confluence  linking  functionality for text and images. Lozenge  – Existing instances will appear exactly as they did before this change. The  panel macro  combined with Confluence  links  is the closest replacement for this macro. Search *Box *– Confluence's  Livesearch macro  includes key functionality for this macro. We'll automatically migrate instances of the  Search Box  macro to the  Livesearch  macro. Some minor features of the Search Box macro will be removed in the process. Round Rectangle  – Existing round rectangles will appear exactly as they did before this change. The  panel macro  is the closest replacement for this functionality. HTML Table ,  Table Head (thead) ,  Table Row (tr) ,  Table Cell (td) , and* Colgroup Tag* – To be clear, these aren't regular Confluence tables, which are unaffected; these are tables built using the table, table header, table row, table detail, and colgroup tag macros. Tables created using these macros will render as plain html tables, with their content intact but without the styling added using the macros. Copy the table when viewing the page and paste it into the editor to turn it into a Confluence table—we recommend you use  Confluence tables  from now on. P  – The content of the macro will still show on your page. If you need any parameters from this macro, edit the page—the macro will still show in the editor—and edit the macro. Ordered List (ol) ,  Unordered List (ul) , and  List Item (li)  – The content of these macros will still show on your page. You can use the normal list options in the Confluence editor in place of these macros. Pre  – Existing instances will appear exactly as they did before this change. HTML Image  – Existing instances will appear exactly as they did before this change.   Having said that, if there are instances of the macros that are showing up broken, that is a bug and we will deal with it on a case by case basis. We've got two issues for them at the moment, one of which has a fix almost released; you can track those on CONF-44974 and CE-795 . I'm closing this issue for now. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
