Peace, NRE.

Excellent point, i never even considered something like that until i read your post. It does seem lately that alot of threads are turning into mega threads. I vote for a back to top button too.

Great Idea. I use google chromium and i'm for ever trying to find the scroll bar.

spot on idea

well..we have a "top" button at the bottom of each thread..

it just doesn't work if you are using Firefox...

The top botton is there, just look at the bottom of the last post on a thread, it never went away.

Lol ok now i feel really really dumb. I will just chalk that up to being a newbie still.

Yeah when I first wrote this I really didn't notice the ^^top^^ button on threads, but it is not on the Recent Posts, and thats where it gets crazy. I scroll to see all the recent threads, get to the end and then have to re-scroll all the way back up to the top.

If we can have the same button but on the "Recent Posts", sorry thats what I meant

Peace, NRE.

This may sound really obvious once you hear it but try pressing the HOME key on your keyboard. What do you know a built in back to the top button. ATS is thinking way ahead.

Seriously I had NO idea about the home button. I tried it a couple of times, and even though its less convenient then having an actual button that I can use with the mouse, its wayyyyyyy better than scrolling

Peace, NRE.

BTW, I really didn't know, I had to actually look for the home button on my laptop

Peace, NRE.

There is also an END button...can you guess what that does?

I would much rather have a "Go to first unread post" button, would make coming back to threads so much easier than going through loads of previously read posts to see where you were up to

Ha , the home button doh! *laughs* at self and departs

I've complained about this a dozen times. I have never received even an acknowledgement that admin is aware of the issue, as far as I remember. Hopefully your post will get better results.

There *is* a Top button, it just doesn't work, at least with Firefox. So in effect, it doesn't work. 'Home' button works. But that is a different button.

Sure would be nice if it worked, ):

Also: how about a Libya forum?
America's 3rd illegal war won't end in a few weeks, I assure you.

I was begging for it when the new forum software came online. But it doesn't work with firefox...

Maybe there are some solutions for that here.

Get a mouse with gyroscopic wheel - WHATS THAT YOU SAY ?

Well I can scroll per normal or flick it for a power scroll and scroll through hundreds of pages in seconds - get one.
