Hi thalestrader, we fixed the formatting of the ads and seems to have fixed the issues you had brought up. I am hoping that the changes will also reflect on your end. Please do let me know if you still experience spikes in CPU. Thank you and I apologize for the inconvenience.

 

Regards,

 

James

 

Hi James,

 

CPU was still running high for a few days after your fix when those ads ran (45% or so). But this morning it is back to 90%+. I saw these ads on a few other web sites, and I see no CPU spike. However, those ads are static without the animation. Perhaps you should look into running the non anumated ads as well. I did a search on another forum (ET) and it looks as though some other folks over there had the same thing happen. I see that ET runs non animated (I'm not sure if that is the correct term or not - what I mean is that the ads for FX Open here "move" while at the non problem sites, the ads are static0>

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales

Hi Thales,

 

We did have some database issues a few hours ago and just added some crucial missing codes to the site that may have been causing this.

 

I will consult with my media agent again and see what the issues are. Thanks Thales.

Can you add the link to the posts in the Attachment window?

I can open the attachment... but can't find the description that goes with it.

 

TIA

One suggestion: Can you omit the "is" from the status ?

 

because people might want to use "was", or "has", or "had"... etc.,

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=14143&stc=1&d=1255108605

 

 

 

p.s. Facebook used to have the "is" in their status line. They have removed it to give people more flexibility in expressing their status.

Hi Tams,

 

This has been removed per your request. Still working on your previous request and looking to get that done shortly. Thanks.

Site is looking and performing great James.

 

Thanks again to you and your team!

 

P.S. Loved this image so much I had to snag it: :)

regards,

 

Thanks ehorn! We also migrated all the ads you see on the site to a hosted solution to further speed things up. Currently in the process of lightening up some of the unused features as well to increase the speed.

 

I wish I had a team :) Most folks think the site is run by a group of ppl but its just myself. (though marketing is handled buy a different firm) Every designer/programmer are just outsourced on a project basis which is why simple requests (like what Tams made above) took days to complete. Its a continous process of finding the right coder and designer for each specific request or improvement.

James,

 

Something I'd noticed was that on Firefox 3.5.3 sometimes the front page is not rendered correctly.

 

This is even more common with FF 3.7.

 

Here's a snap of what it sees (all is fine with Google Chrome). Note that the problem comes and goes ... here today gone tomorrow so I assume something changeable in the pages is what's at issue.

Try 3.7 .. it doesnt :(

 

3.7 is nice though. It has the chrome style tab ordering so that they all stay together (which is why I upgraded). So whatever is sensitive with 3.5.3 seems 100% on the 3.7.

 

James, While 3.5.3 is a legit build, 3.7 is an alpha so you'd expect it to be sensitive but it does display the problem nicely. Your developer can get it if he hasnt' got it by googling firefox nightly builds and trying the latest version.

I use Firefox 3.5.3 and I encounter that problem occasionally as well, but in my experience it will go back to normal if you just refresh the page.

We tested 3.5.3, IE7, IE8, etc... and seems to be working fine. My designers do not want to work with 3.7 just yet as it is unstable and Firefox may be buggy in regards to CSS. We will need to wait until 3.7 is released in order to apply any bug fixes. Im still looking why this issue is showing up in 3.5.3. Once we are able to replicate it, we will fix this problem. Thanks.

Its fine currently James.

 

It comes and goes with 3.5.3 so I don't know if it sticks with 3.7 or not.

 

I'll log on every few hours and let you know in a couple of days if its fixed.

James, I should have made this more clear in my last post, but that problem only occurred very infrequently, maybe once or twice in recent memory, so I never reported it on my own. But I'll clear my cache, and if it happens again I'll post here.

Since yesterday. And the first time I looked (and posted) this morning it was fine.

 

Now its gone to the other mode.

 

I'll clear my cache in a second and see if makes a difference.\

 

 

 

Edit: Cleared Cache and its back to normal.

Got it I think.

 

I am creating the issue James, which is why I see it so often. I clear my cache automatically from time to time by batch file. It seems that if it does it while firefox is on it leaves something there that creates the problem "just" with this site.

 

If I close, re clear, and reopen it is fine. So I'll put a branch in to prevent the problem. If you're programmer wants to recreate the problem let me know and I'll mail you the remaining cache files from when the problem is live.

Hi Kiwi,

 

By any chance, do you have alot of add-ons in Firefox? My programmers have come back to me that this may be one of the various issues causing such behavior. Meanwhile, if you can send me the cache files or log files that would be appreciated as we can investigate further. Its definitely CSS related in which firefox is not reading the CSS properly hence you are seeing the missing headers. Thanks Kiwi.

I have a lot of add ons but I disabled them by xxxing the extensions directory and then running 3.5.3.

 

Checked and only the java quickstart reinstalled.

 

Simple process for forcing the error.

 

Open the front page for TL with 3.5.3 and leave it open

dos deltree of the ffprofile/cache directory which will kill all but 4 or 5 files

Close firefox immediately

Reopen firefox

Reopen http://www.traderslaboratory.com

 

To get rid of the error. Close firefox and deltree the directory again which gets rid of all files and the directory. On rebooting firefox all is well.

 

Seems to work almost every time.

    • Date: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
