Hi, and Merry Christmas all 🙂

I have had a few members of my community ask if there could be a faster way of returning to the top of a thread. I have pointed out that the date to the side of the trhead can be scrolled and/or clicked to fast track back to the beginning, however, it’s that obvious.

We have a wide range of ages using our discourse platform, and for simplicity, it helps if we sometimes spell things out for them. For example:

The origin date is normally here, but is there a way I can replace that with what I propose in the image?

If so, can anyone provide any guidance on how this might be achieved?
