Default Malware error when accessing LS1Tech

I was trying to read https://ls1tech.com/forums/drag-raci...-rear-end.html
Google Chrome popped up with an error saying that visiting this site may harm my computer
because it contained elements from itlxlr8.com.

Not sure what that is, but I thought you may want to know.
It's not the first time I've seen this error on LS1Tech.

It's not coming directly from LS1Tech.com, but rather, someone's (NA$TY-TA) signature in this post that is hotlinking an image from that domain:

Thanks for making us aware of it!
I removed that image from the signature, and contacted them to advise them to upload the image to LS1tech to host it.

I know this is a month later but I'm the admin for ITLXR8.com and am trying to find more details to what caused this error. I have double checked the server and don't see anything that shouldn't be there. I have also installed Google Chrome to try and re-create the problem but I don't get any errors when browsing to the site, or looking at posts with pictures hosted from our site.

Can anyone shed some light on this or has the problem disappeared? Thanks!

The issue was an image in someones signature, I removed it.
Issue resolved.
