I thought this was fixed before when Kevin went crazy, but look at Steve's signature.

So where are my slashes. Maybe they were added in the import, since Steve hasn't changed his signature since then(?). Or his signature was edited in the CP, and that's where the slashes were added.

I'm pretty sure my sig was fine after the import. I haven't edited it since. Let me edit it now and see if the slashes disappear.

I can't edit it. It says it's over 500 characters when it definitely isn't - even when I remove the:

(the Mod formerly known as \\\\\\\'smachol\\\\\\\'),

Looks like another bug.

The question remains, how did the slashes get there and what is making them increase?

Furthermore I can't get rid of them because of the strange '500 character' error.
