Geekzone Mobile appears to be over-protective when it comes to hyperlinks, double escaping ampersands, quotes and greater/less than symbols.

For example, the Snap mobile forum index shows the VDSL Performance & Tuning topic rendered as follows:



The page source shows the following - note the double-escaped ampersand character:

<a href="/Forums/90/Topic/105744">VDSL Performance &amp;amp; Tuning</a>


On the full website, the ampersand is escaped correctly in the hyperlink.

<a href="forums.asp?forumid=90&topicid=105744" title="VDSL Performance &amp; Tuning">VDSL Performance &amp; Tuning</a>


There's another couple of topics in the UFB forum index, where the same thing is happening to greater than, and quote symbols:



This only appears to happen in hyperlinks, and seems to be browser independent.  I've checked the following:
Android 2.36, on 3G (Vodafone), or WiFi
Firefox 19
Internet Explorer 9

For testing the last two, I set an android-style user agent to prevent the mobile website redirecting to the full one.

Does anyone else see this happening?

Thanks... We have changed the way we store data in our database and obviously this is affecting the mobile site. I will check this and get it fixed :)
