Wow. That’s a mess. I spent quite a bit of time last week sorting out
a problem in the regular forum. The opposite problem was happening
there – the backslashes were being eaten out of code listings, so
you couldn’t put \n or \t in a post without it becoming just n and t.
I must have tripped over something else in the system when I did
that, because regular markdown is not used when displaying posts –
there’s a lot of additional malarky in there to clean up the old
posts that still had bbcode in them.
I’ll take a look at it and see if I can find the problem.

I though I’d change some bits in my signature, and on each edit,
and extra backslash appears, I’m up to 5 backslashes in edit mode.
Also none of the hyper-links work anymore, now the profiles been
edited, yet work correctly in Markdown.
Dave, could you please try editing your profile again? I cleared out
all of your backslashes in the database manually, and changed one
little bit of code in the core. I need to see if this fixes things
for you.
