Escaping of punctuation marks

(moderation:
Why is it that text that contains an apostrophe or quotation mark (and possibly other punctuation marks as well) appear to be escaped out, meaning that they will have a \ in front of the punctuation mark.
Am I the only one seeing this?
Test: Don't you see what I'm seeing? "Maybe?"

OK, so my own post doesn't behave this way... :shrug:
Your right, but only happens

Your right, but only happens on 'old' threads prior to last weekend. Suggests a change in the encoding methodology since. Either a database and/or PHP thingy.

I am trying to figure out

I am trying to figure out what is going wrong here.
The database is the same and I am using the same "magic quotes" settings for php as I was before.
I am going to try to find a BOINC webpage that talks about this. If you know anything about this issue post something here.
The same problem recently

The same problem recently appeared at LHC - they too have upgraded to the latest server code. My guess is that this is the result of a mistake in code attempting to prevent SQL Injection attacks.
There has been no response as yet from admins at LHC, but they're generally pretty quiet, and they have other website issues since the upgrade (which don't seem to have affected E@H, but LHC customise their web pages instead of using the out-of-the-box BOINC-style ones), so they might not yet have seen the problem.

Yes. This is what I needed and it looks like it worked. Unfortunately I did not see your post right away because I had not have my account settings correct.
