"mmm, strange"
I noticed it too, but I just thought it was extra emphasis on the quotation marks. Kinda like italics.

Let's see..... It's likely a recent update from Dennis has changed the coding a bit. What you see is a typical leading \ in front of symbols which allows the site to display the characters without treating them as codes that would otherwise change what is quoted. Does that make any sense?
It's bascially telling the site to ignore the character as code and treat it as text.

Stop looking at my title!
The root cause is probably the ability to display the ampersand sign without treating it as code. For several languages branching from HTML the & is a special character that envokes certain logic. So the code expects something to follw the & sign:
" = "
So if the code just sees & then it gets confused because there is suppossed to be something following it. A way around it is to proceed the & with code that allows it to be treated as text another is to replace the ampersand with the & ASCII code so it displays as &.

I didn't know you could mix codes in the same program.

I lied its a prob with the quotation marks not the ampersand. I don't know what the difference is between the single quote being displayed as \" versues grommits post getting \\"
" = \"
<font color="Blue"><i><font size="4">example text</font></i></font> = [COLOR=\\"Blue\\"]<i>[SIZE=\\"4\\"]example text[/size]</i>[/color]

Seems like it's only when you put " " in your post.
