I am getting the same problem as OP.
There is nothing of significance in the admin log.
I don't have any UDTs barring the 2 that ship with CMSMS which I don't use.
This site hasn't moved servers.
About 3 of total 30(ish) GCBs showed up OK on the site (which was odd), the rest were rendered with HTML comments <!-- ... --> as OP explains. I can't see anything special about the 3 that showed up OK.
The first time it happened I went in to one GCB to edit it and saved it; site started working normally.
The second time it happened I simply cleared cache and it started working normally.
(In between these 2 instances I upgraded FormBuilder from 0.7.3 -> 0.7.4 and it all started going wrong but that's for another thread, the site was restored back to working version).
Here's a typical GCB (with some identifying text removed):
Code: Select all
<div class="Anchor"><a id="Toys" name="Toys"></a></div>
<div class="PanelOuter">
<div class="Panel PanelLittleStars">
<div class="First">
<p class="BodyText">This xxxxxxxxxxxx <a href="javascript:animatedcollapse.toggle('ToggleLittleStars')">{global_content name='LinkToMore'}</a></p>
</div>
<div id="ToggleLittleStars"><img src="uploads/images/SiteStructure/PanelLSTSite.jpg" alt="" width="920" height="660" />
<div class="CallToAction">
<h3>For xxxxxxxxxxxx <span>{global_content name='PhoneNumber'}</span></h3>
</div>
{cms_module module='FormBuilder' form='contact' value_fld14='Name' value_fld15='Email'}
{global_content name='InfoP'}
<div class="Share">
<a href="javascript:animatedcollapse.toggle('ToggleLittleStars')" class="CloseLink" title="Close this section">Close</a>
{socialBookmarking titlefull="Kid xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" anchor="Toys"}
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="PanelBottom"> </div>
You'll notice it calls other GCBs. It also calls modules like FormBuilder and socialBookmarking.

So it looks like FormBuilder or socialBookmarking might be a cause?
