Eric, I'm already working on it and it should hit SVN during the weekend.


Okay, great. While you are at it, get rid of these bloody backslashes!

The slashes are actually getting stored on the database. Once the bug is fixed, new posts won't get them, but existing posts while the bug lasted will still have them.

Doing stripslashes on all posts would get rid of more than it should, because even older posts don't have them. Maybe we need to set a stardust-like distributed computing project (using brains instead of CPUs) to check which posts need slashes removed :)

I`m not sure what this ` is supposed to be used for, but maybe it`ll display better than the apostrophe.

This seems to be the oldest post with the problem.

They're fixed. As showing here.

The only thing still broken is when you do use backslashes and then edit or quote a post with them in it, the slashes go missing. But that is being worked on separately, as far as I know.
