I tried changing all the settings in CMUD and Mud settings to no avail, does anyone have any idea what could be causing this ?

Here is a page with mxp off

Settlestone's Well
This is an extremely energetic section of the dwarven city of
Settlestone. Two bustling streets intersect at the site of a ten foot tall
statue of the famed Krodar Thunderhammer. All four sets of city gates can
be seen from this vantage and hundreds of people walk about nearby. There
is also a large black stone well in the center of the square.
Exits: North East South West Up Down
AN OPEN PORTAL IS HERE!
A stalk of celery grows in a patch of well-kept soil.
A bright orange carrot top can just barely be seen growing in some soil.
A magical spring gurgles out fresh water. [2]
Some sweetmeats are sitting on the ground.
A plump date lies here.
A tan spellbook with strange runes lies forgotten on the ground.
Settlestone's newbie sign is here next to the well saying 'Look at me.'
A statue of Krodar Thunderhammer stands tall atop a pedestal.
The large central well of Settlestone is here...It glows violet!
Josiah is standing here.
Josiah glows with a very faint light!
Josiah has a steady blue aura.
A dwarven animal control officer patrols the area.

The first thing I would suggest is opening the Debugger window to see exactly what is being sent
from the mud. This would also tell you whether any triggers are modifying the text. But I think
something odd must be coming from the mud. There is an entire section of text (between the
end of Josiah and the beginning of the animal control officer) which is only visible with MXP turned
on. And it is curious that <BR> becomes visible with MXP turned on.

My off-the-cuff hypothesis is that the mud is sending something that looks like XML or MXP code,
but either badly coded or not being interpreted as expected by the MXP parser. This code would be
completely ignored and invisible with MXP turned off, but might be causing the MXP parser to reformat
things the way you see.
