Return to top

The Cowboy · October 7, 2015

Dunno about others' browsing preferences, but usually I'll read a thread, then whizz back to the top, hit 'New Posts' and crack on with the next thread that takes my fancy.

As pages are determined by post count (15 per page is it?), and not by post content, some threads with lengthy posts can require a lot of scrolling back up to get to the top.

Just wondered if it's possible to have a 'Return to Top' link at the bottom of the thread? If this is already there, would love to know where it is!

It's already there, at the bottom right. Click 'Top'.

Oh yeah. Never noticed that. It's a bit further down that I would normally scroll once I've read the last post, so I guess that's why I've never seen it. Cheers.

I dare say @GrandOldTeam'll be able to add the "Top" link to the mobile stylesheet, but, in the meantime,click on Desktop Version mate.
If your phones half way decent then it'll be fine.

Obviously this isn't an option that's likely to work with @tommye's brick.

If you really want it, the option will appear.

You have to really want it though.

Only just seen this post. Erm, I see it on the Desktop version, but not on the Mobile Version. I think I'm not wanting it enough.

If you just conform and become iPhone fanboys like the rest of us you can just tap the top of the screen twice and you shoot back to the top of any webpage

I've resisted the pull of Apple products for so many years, but I feel this may have just broken my resolve.

Have you tried the diagonal swipe from bottom to top to see if that'll take you to the top?

I would sooner eat my own faeces.
