I sometimes visit this forum from my phone ( Lenovo K900 ) and CPU instantly gets hot (almost too hot to touch phone) and battery drained near-instantly.
I don't remember any other sites or apps with same problem.
I can't imagine the need for anything as CPU-intensive on simple forum.
Can bitcoin mining be disabled on this forum, at least for smartphone users?
 
It could be a particular ad that has buggy JavaScript that eats up the CPU, particularly if it only happens once in a while. I occasionally run into those across various sites on the Internet. If so, screenshotting the ad displaying when that occurs and uploading the screenshot may enable it to be removed for the future.

I checked my CPU while writing this post, and it's near-nil, so it doesn't appear to be a general-forum-software problem, or at least not one that always happens.
 
I've been in the hospital he past week. Will take a look when I'm up to it.
