Where's Jump to end?

Contribute UX

AI-generated summary

Users are discussing the “Jump to end” button in Discourse topics, which is part of the TOC (Table of Contents) theme component Moin. Some users, like Canapin, find the label misleading — expecting it to jump to the end of the entire topic rather than just the end of the first post — and suggest alternatives like “Jump to replies” or “Read replies”. Moin notes that since TOC can appear next to replies, “Read replies” might be confusing if used mid-topic. Alternative solutions include using the topic slider to jump to the latest reply tobiaseigen or installing a plugin for explicit top/bottom scroll buttons piffy. The discussion highlights UX ambiguity around button labeling and behavior in threaded topics.

Hi, I can’t find where to enable this in a topic:

Did a search in the plugins list and nothing.

It’s part of the TOC theme component.

It’s helpful when the timeline is hidden because the TOC is shown.

Meanwhile if you are in a topic and want to jump to the bottom and most recent reply, select the bottom of the topic slider on the right side.

This button label confused me while reading a topic with ToC.

I clicked “Jump to end” and didn’t understand the behavior.

I assumed it meant “Jump to end of the topic” rather than “Jump to end of the first post”.

I suggest the label Jump to replies or Read replies instead, but maybe I’m the only one confused? Should this suggestion go into a new topic?

You can also have a TOC next to a reply. I think a “read replies” button next to the 7th post of a topic is confusing, as you will not only see replies to that post but all replies to the topic.
