 * Hi,
 * Suddenly, my wordpress started to display broken php codes quoted in a post.
 * I use the Preserve Code Formatting plugin to show sample codes inside posts with
   the code and pre tags. And if I post a php code from the very beggining including
   the “<?php,” there gets a whitespace between “<” and “?(questionmark).” This 
   prevents viewers from simply copy and paste the code.
 * It used to work fine. In fact, old posts are still displayed properly without
   the whitespace.
 * I tried to disabled recent installed plugins includeing WP-E-mail, WP-Print, 
   Random Search Terms, WP-Cron, etc.. But didn’t help.
 * It would be greatlly appreciated if you have any kind of information.

 * Does anyone know if there is any new information on this users issue? I am experiencing
   the same thing and it is driving me nuts. I cannot post a new thread because 
   the forums are closing and killing my threads as soon as they are posted. Any
   help with this problem would certainly be appreciated.
