Access the top of the topic page

Product Support

AI-generated summary

inj3ct0r is having trouble accessing the top of a topic page, as the site is taking them directly to the bottom. Lilly explains that this is the expected behavior, which depends on the user’s previous visits and unread posts. However, she suggests alternative ways to reach the top, such as clicking the topic title or using the timeline scroller.

Additionally, JammyDodger mentions a category setting called ‘Navigate to first post after topics are read’, which can be found in the Settings tab. inj3ct0r successfully uses this method to access the top of the page.

Moin shares a link to a meta discussion about disabling the ‘jump to last unread’ feature, while pfaffman suggests appending the post number to the URL to reach a specific post, such as the first one.

that is the expected behavior - when you enter a topic it takes you to the first post you have not read since your last visit to that topic. you can easily go to the first post by clicking the topic title at the top in the header bar, or use the timeline scroller on the right side of the page. the behavior is dependent on the whether the user has visited that topic yet and which posts they last read. there is also a red line that shows above the posts have been made since a use’s last visit

FWIW There’s also the ‘Navigate to first post after topics are read’ category setting too. You can find that on the Settings tab in the Category Wrench.
