Removing the code from the index is pointless because the template is going to overwrite it.
I haven't fiddled with the site code in years.
But it's clear here when Metas account was compromised.
I sent him a message on Facebook. Changed his login stuff. Now just to undo the damage. Without me having to do a clean reinstall.
Right, so go to that template.php file, find where it is inserting the new tab target, and alter it. It might also be in the css.php (css is "cascading style sheet", so stuff in there is used by everything else).
It's probably in several places since it's happening on almost all links. You just have to delete the target = "_blank" part and it will default to staying in the same tab.
I am by no means a web guy, and I don't know what else he may have broken, but it seems pretty clear that will at least fix the annoying new tab issue. As always, test it before putting it out live haha.
LOL, the idea is to fix the template or css.
Search for "_blank" in those files and remove it.
Again, this will be trivial for a web guy.
Always thought this was just me. I’ve got a new Mac, and Safari/Chrome both hate this site for me. Computer starts sounding like it’s going to explode.
My point is that there is a difference between removing the code from the index (forum.php) and from the stylesheet/templates.
If you edited the index and removed the unnecessary HTML code it wouldn't fix the problem.
I'm unsure why you are arguing with me over this. I figured it was clear the change had to be made to the css or template. No web pages are designed as static HTML anymore.
Fredi, send me those 2 files somehow.
A ton of websites are still designed using static HTML. But that's besides the point.
I'm not arguing with you. I just want to make sure the code is removed correctly.
My worry (as I echoed in the now-deleted bitminer thread) is that the SQL database is compromised. Meaning that I'm not sure fixing the template is going to solve all the problems.

Bingo. The more webpages that are open, the more CPU can be used to mine coin.
I am not touching the website on a computer again until the mining is gone. I suggest everyone else do the same.
I ****ing hate bitcoin so much.
Stylesheet is a cluster****: http://chopcountry.com/forums/install/vbulletin-style.xml
Some of those _blanks you are going to probably want to keep.

That looks like the sheet for the vBulletin generic stuff, not the chopcountry site itself.

Well now I know why my laptop was acting goofy regularly. Thanks for working to fix it all, I know nothing about web design or I would try to help
Also think that staying on mobile is good advice

If wupk or enscheff can't get in and undo it, I can probably pay a friend of mine who owns a web design company to look at it.
The forums I am on for subscribers has not been very helpful. They did help identify the bitmining malware but did not have any useful solutions on helping me remove it. I could probably figure it out in 2 hours playing with the control panel, but I just dont have the time right now.
