Back To Top

[Joe Reeves]

In this forum, and no doubt all others, a Blue Box Hyperlink has been added which appears at anything over 6 clicks scrolling downward. Its presence blocks the topic of the very last post. It was added as I understand it to accommodate someone who needed a quick way to return to the top of the page. Someone who apparently does not understand the effect of the "Home Key", the "Page Up" key, of the "Arrow" scroll up key. I asked for it to be removed but since I entitled the subject as a "Minor Problem", it's removal has been refused.

Its presence and the resulting effect it has of blocking that last topic bugs the hell out of me enough to quit. Does it bother anyone else?

Sorry Joe, but I never use it.

For some reason it irritates me too, even though it doesn't really block anything all that much on my computer. I don't know why it irritates me. Like boobie, I never use it.

I don't use it either Boobie... I don't need it.

Moved this to the correct forum

Something like this, Joe?



Check your Zoom level. The box starts to cover up stuff as the Zoom percentage is increased.

Mine looks like GA's screen shot..... I didn't even notice it until I read this thread!

 

[southkogs]

Screen resolution will play a big role in it too. I have a pretty high res screen ... the box is almost 2" to the left of the actual topic window.

Boy don't take much to irritate some of you guys, if I was to say anything, I would suggest moving it to the right side of the screen, as the forums always left justify for me.

Yes, we know... people of our caliber are just so high strung!

The Back To Top box was on the right side after one of the updates and was moved to the left as the result of member suggestions.

I very seldom use it, but some do it seems.

I'm fine with removing it, there is a back to top link on the bottom of every forum page.

You want high strung, drop by this weekend and we will pull out the M-16's and the Thompson! This is my annual weekend to pull the big boys out, one of my buddies is dropping by with his .50 cal browning, so it could be an interesting weekend!

I don't get it! Yeah it is a wee bit of a PITA but why do we even need it? What ever happened to the good old windows Home button?

 

[MTboatguy]

All of my computers, laptop as well as desktops have a home button, I just pushed the one on this laptop and it took me to the top of the window.

Virtually ever website I visit these days has a back to the top option on one side or the other, including Newspaper sites, Ebay, my banking sites.

I believe the back to top button became a normal on websites when Mobile devices became such an important part of web development.
