Hey guys. After going and changing all my &'s to &'s I've re-discovered why it'd been changed around in the first place. Looks like I'd have to go through everywhere and do the htmlentities thing all over the place to make it work properly, which, while it's not the responsibility of CEON's exemplary software is a pain in my arse :) so... if I did want to change everything back to &'s is there a work-around as per my original question?

eg is there a way to replace the & even before it's had the ampersand and colon removed and replace with 'and' ? A quick hacky fix is as good as anything right now to be honest! Running short on time!
