Re: Vanishing dollar signs!

I've installed a fresh version of Xaraya on DreamHost and it doesn't  
have this problem at all. I installed TinyMCE and tested, but again,  
no problem.

I then used the database from problematic site on the fresh install  
and the dollar sign problem showed up again. Its really weird.

As far as I know the error level reporting is set to the default  
E_ALL but I don't have much control over PHP on DreamHost. As long as  
the setting in config.system.php overrides the php.ini settings it  
should be at E_ALL.
