Well, today i upgraded my webserver VPS to PHP 5.3.2, thinking it would work.
Also, this is more of a but report :p
Correction: MyBB 1.4.12
Downloaded PHP source and dependencies, Configured, ran "make" and "make install", installed perfectly,
Upon upgrading and editing a template i came across a problem.
I have been using Nginx+Apache together for a month or 2, never has this happened with 5.1.6,
Upon saving, the template will be "escaped" by php automatically, for no apparent reason.
The same goes with all Posts/Threads.
Hopefully this will be fixed :p
Another thing, Downgrading to PHP 5.2.13 works fine, so it must be a new thing in 5.3.2
I don't have this issue with 5.3.1, so it would be only in .2+ if it is. I'm not an expert in PHP by any means... so this could have a very simple explanation, or could be a new change.
EDIT:
On looking at the changelog for 5.3.2... I don't see anything about this. Not to sound rude, but you probably configured something wrong.

You have enabled magic_quotes? This is deprecated on PHP 5.3 so you have to disable it.
Geeze, I didn't even think of magic_quotes... *whaps self*
