Backslash Problem - rcdubose - 2013-01-22
I just launched a new forum and am getting backslashes every time anyone uses an apostrophe with a word. For example: "I can\'t remember when I was here." I'll get a backslash on the word "can't" every time.
How can this be fixed? Thanks --Rich

Is there a word filter in place causing it?

Where would I look for this?

No Word Filters are in place.

Looks like an escaping issue to me.
RE: Backslash Problem - rcdubose - 2013-01-22
Any ideas on how to fix it?
Does anyone know how to fix this?

That shouldn't be happening. Contact your web host and ask them because it doesn't happen on any other forum.

Might this possibly be an issue with magicquotes or something? Just thinking out loud
RE: Backslash Problem - Knerba - 2013-01-23
Yes, Euan T is right, it's related to "magicquotes".
You will need to speak to your host to change the settings, something I had to do myself and it worked when they did whatever they did.
