Ha. Personally that never even occurred to me. I was always fiddling with the progress slide bar to scroll back to the top. So to @tophee’s point, I would be surprised if new users discovered this.

Thx @david for the back. Will try it out. I may try to merge it with some JS logic so that only applies for topics…

I haven’t tested this yet. Not sure if there’s a better way in javascript to send users to the top. Definitely would appreciate help from someone with JS skills.

```
if(window.location.href.indexOf(“/t/“) > -1) {
       topurl=Discourse. __container__.lookup('controller:topic').send('jumpToIndex', 1)
    }
else {topurl=“#top”}
</script>

```
