This idea is for this forum.

When looking at messages and say you are done and want to go back to the top, how about a floating arrow off to the right hand side that if you click it that it will take you to the top?

Ebay has it on their site

Just a thought

Back to top buttons are very common and user friendly according to design conventions and best practices, it's the kind of thing I do for a living! Pretty easy to implement aswell, so I like this idea

There is a "home" button on your keyboard that basically does this isnt there? Anyway wouldnt hurt to still have this arrow bring you to the OP, so im all for it.

It shouldn't be that bad to implement neccesarily either as you can do it simply with javascript:

window.scroll(0,0);

^ You then take that on onClick of that button element.

It can look and feel pretty with a smooth scroll applied to the html or body tag, or whatever container actually has the scroll. ( Haven't looked at it yet for here but could find out ).

html {
  scroll-behavior: smooth;
}

 

It is a question of how easy it is to edit the code of these forums,

"Powered by Invision Community" 

at the very bottom. Just a theme or something that takes more control?

Or just use a vim inspired browser (qutebrowser, vieb)  or vim extension for whichever browser you use?
