Question "Return To Top" page link


At the bottom of the page onthe forums where it says "Page 1 of XXX ..." etc would it be possible to put a link to go back to the top of the page?It's a quite annoying to have to scroll back up just to get to the forum tools/search bar etc, sepcially on a tab or phone.

Where you're using a keyboard, the Home key will return to the top of the page.

Clicking the down arrow on the Page x of y and entering the current page number will do that too.

Personally, I think Keith Hedger has a point and it would be good to have a link like that at the bottom of the page.

Thanks for the tip. However, "Home" key is not available on all keyboards (Mac ones for example)

Indeed, but not very intuitive/user-friendly/quick

Thanks for the feedback. We're going to hold off on most new feature requests while we're preparing for the next code update. More on that soon.
