Just tried it again - cpu usage measures between 0-4% and whenever I load a TL page with an FXOpen ad, cpu usage spikes and hovers between 88-98%. This is on repeated tests. The second I close the TL window, cpu usage immediately drops to normal and safe levels.

I guess I'll be off TL until those ads are changed.

Hi Thales,

I am temporary halting those ads and looking into this issue. Thanks.

I'm not sure if this is a known issue or not, but I just noticed that at the top of each forum page that I load on TL, there is some kind of error message being displayed. I attached a screenshot of what I'm talking about, but the error is:

"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/trade/public_html/forums/showthread.php(2157) : eval()'d code on line 83"

Screenshot:

This is in Firefox 3.5.2

Thanks diablo, this has been fixed. What we are trying to do now is to enhance the private threads area so members can freely create private threads, invite other members, and have the ability to remove and add new users into their threads as well. The error script code was due to bugs within this new system we are trying to implement but has been fixed now. Thanks.

Thank You,

I have never seen anything like it anywhere. Maybe those ads have some sort of heavy duty spyware attached to them and the cpu spikes are due to attempt at covert installation. I'm just guessing, of course. But TL loads and runs fine so long as the page does not have those FXOpen ads.
