You probably have to change Ashje's code to:
PHP Code:
$description = stripslashes($description);
$article_content = $article_content."<p><b><a href='adopt.php?id=".$aid."'><img src='templates/icons/add.gif' border=0> Adopt ".$type."<br>".$description."</a></b></p>";
That should remove the \'s from the text. I put in the description field but did not implement it due to space constraints. I thought I may implement something using it in a future release. :)
