OK, here's a weird one that just appeared.
The home page of thecraftgallery.net is powered by a single record editor with only text fields and text boxes.
The site has been working fine for quite a while.
Now, every time I save the record I get a back slash added before any quotes in any field. If I save the record again another back slash is added. These are visible in the editor.
I thought it might be a glitch that developed in my installation 2.01 so I upgraded to 2.03, cleared the cache, tried with another browser. Same problem
I'm stumped.
Any ideas appreciated.

Hi Jerry,
It sounds like php on your server is using a feature called magic quotes. This automatically adds backslashes to things like single and double quotes. This feature really isn't recommended anymore. Here is how you can turn it off.
If you can get into the php.ini file on your server you'll want to search for the following lines:
magic_quotes_gpc = off;
magic_quotes_runtime= off;
magic_quotes_sybase= off;
Take sure they are all set to off.
If you don't have access to php.ini, you can try adding this to your .htaccess file:
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
If that doesn't work. You can contact your hosting provider about how to turn off magic quotes.
Hope that helps.

Thanks Jason,
I'm talking to the hosting company right now.
Another thing to document in the Cookbook.
Thanks for the insight.
