What\'s with all the backslashes?!

Sorry if this has been covered already, but....

What\'s with all my apostrophes turning into backslash-apostrophes?! Is it a setting I\'ve turned on by accident?

For an extreme example, check out this post:

Its not you, its the script (the bbs). Everywhere there is an apostraphe, it is putting in a slash, so it is not executed. I\\\'m new to php, but its got something to do with commenting out the apostraphe.

I think.

That\'s what I guessed, just wondering if anyone knows how to \"fix\" it (it just started happening about a week ago).

It should work by replacing each >&quot;< by the HTML escape &amp;quot;
A script should be able to do that.

What really is nice, though, is, everytime you preview your post, there are more of these backslashes...
And it is going up exponentially...
