I noticed in some users' profiles you're converting htmlentities when it shouldn't be.

Actually, I don't know if this is a security precaution but my point is someone might say in their profile

'I like doing this & that'

The & sign is converted to a htmlentity and it reads funny.

They probably need to escapt the \& symbol

[edit]. well, according to the line above & doesn't need to be escaped, so I have no idea what the problem is.

I don't know AD, perhaps this was a legacy of the migration from old db to new db.

I saw it in the signatures but I can't remember who it was.

Maybe, I just added & in my signature and it's ok.
