We currently have a jump to top button (anchor points to a div in the header) to make it easy to go back to the top of a category. Ideally it would also work for topics, but the first post of a topic is not necessarily the start of the page. I was wondering if anyone might be interested in helping w…

Clicking on topic title on Desktop sends you to post 1. Is this mobile specific? On mobile it’s behind the progress bar.

I think I give up trying to do it in JS, because it seems like after a while, the browser runs into difficulty reading the current URL :frowning: I thought I was close. <script type="text/javascript"> function gotoTop(){ if(window.location.href.indexOf("/t/") > -1) { topurl=window.location.…
