Try this and see if it works:
ENTER "bindloadfile pamphlet.txt$$e lecture$$afk This is SO important!$$startchat"
Just out of curiousity.
Does the same thing. I've been adding bind files for the new emotes and I'm coming up with this a lot. Also, ccfeatherfly and ccfurfly don't seem to do anything. Is that the right name for them?
Although I haven't tried them yet, aren't the new emotes /ccefeatherfly etc?
I'm sure that's what I read in the notes.
Just curious.. what does pamphlet.txt contain?.. and why do you have it re-load every time you press enter?
Back to the issue.. I have not noticed any oddities in any of my own binds.. and lord knows I created a lot of funky stuff. lol
pamphlet.txt emotes pamphlet when I hit enter to talk and then cycles to the next emote.
feather/furfly were changed to featherspin and furspin before they were released(you can see them called spin in the costumechange window, that's where I saw it). /cce # ccfeatherspin, and fur, work for those emotes from the chat window.

ahh, so basically, you have a different emote (and message?) each time you hit enter until it cycles back around.. That's kinda neat. |

So is that the only file/command that is hanging up? or are all of them in your cycle having the same issues? It would be strange for just one of them to act differently.
It seems like my old binds still work, but new ones I'm making in the same manner are having issues with the $$. For example,
SHIFT+BUTTON5 "bind_load_file BeastRun.txt$$powexec_name Ninja Run"
says blah blah cannot read beastrun.tx
and blah blah unknown command $powexec_name
Are you using a different text editing program to make the files than you were before? make sure you are using "Plain text" documents so the program isn't changing the formatting internally.
Other than that, try reversing the commands just to see if there are similar results. For example:
SHIFT+BUTTON5 "powexec_name Ninja Run$$bind_load_file BeastRun.txt"
(on a side note, you don't need rotating bind files to switch back and forth between Ninja Run and Beast Run, unless you have more than just those 2 options in your cycle. 
)
Well I need it to turn ninja run both on and off and beast run both on and off. I'm pretty sure I need a rotating bind, but I might be able to do it with 2 instead of 4 if I thought about it awhile.
I'll check the settings on the word program; I do seem to remember it doing something weird awhile ago.
Found the problem! It is a bug.
Putting the bindloadfile at the end of the string was messing up the /afk command in my chat binds so you couldn't see words over my head while typing, so I moved it to the front. Unfortunately, that messes up the game's reading.
SHIFT+BUTTON5 "powexecname Beast Run$$bindloadfile BeastRun2.txt"
works
but
SHIFT+BUTTON5 "bindloadfile BeastRun2.txt$$powexecname Beast Run"
causes it to read bindloadfile beastrun2.tx t$ $powexecname beast run
and give an error.

But turning one of them on automatically turns off the other one anyway. The following command will switch to the opposite one on each press:|

KEY "powexecname Beast Run$$powexecname Ninja Run"
It's the same way some people make binds that toggle back and forth between Hover and Fly.
But if you are saying you also have an "OFF" in your cycle to turn them both off, then yes, you'd need the rotating bind, OR you can just use a "control" to disable both instead:
Control+KEY "poexectoggleoff Beast Run$$powexectoggleoff Ninja Run"
As for the bug, I cannot duplicate it on my end. My bind files are still working normally. If your old bind files are still working fine, but any new ones you create are being read incorrectly, I'd say the problem is with the new files somehow. Are you sure it's not trying to impose any special formatting on it?.. or what if you try "quoting" the filename?:
SHIFT+BUTTON5 "bindloadfile "BeastRun2.txt"$$powexecname Beast Run"
One of my keybind files looks like this:
ENTER "bind_load_file pamphlet.txt$$e lecture$$afk This is SO important!$$startchat"
The game reads that and then tells me, "unable to read in keybind file: pamphlet.tx" and "unknown command $e". Did something in the new patch mess up the way the game reads "$$"?
