Thanks, help is greatly appreciated!
Lots of threads on this, ask your host to disable magic quotes.
I'll ask them now, thanks Smile
Yep this appears to be the magic quotation marks problem...
Hey do i know you? are you from novahost?
Nope Toungue


EDIT

Okay my host said:
Quote:We upgraded to PHP 5.3.2 overnight last night. Unfortunately, by chance, all versions higher than PHP 5.3.0 have had magic_quotes deprecated (because it is such a buggy, insecure and problematic feature).

and then said:
Quote:We are looking to downgrade again due to reported problems with various software after this upgrade. We will keep you updated on when you will be able to enable magic quotes on your account.

So hopefully all should be sorted soon Big Grin


EDIT

All sorted now, thread can be closed Smile
