Topic: Go Up button

[NOS ChromeNut]

Hi all!  I'm very happy to be a proud SMF user (gee, sounds like a new drug!), and am thoroughly enjoying the forums I've created with this fine product.  Great job dev team!!

I posted a similar question in the 1.0.5 thread, but it actually belonged here and the answer I got over there was extremely vague to say the least.  Maybe here it will get a little more attention.

I know that you can define the number of posts viewed in a thread, and that it's controlled through the admin panel (not sure if it's user controlled or not, but doesn't matter), but what if you're posts are realllllly long, and even if you limit view of 9 posts to a page it still can be rather lengthy, and I'm wearing out the scroll button on my mouse.

Is there no way to embed the Go Up button in each post, similar to phpBB, so that if you want to go to the top of the page you can at any point?  It must not be terribly hard but I'm no SMF whiz.

Kindest regards and best wishes to all SMF'ers!!

Could this be made a feature?

[JayBachatero]

Could this be made a feature?

its all a matter of choice of the theme developers.  there are themes that come with this.

[anunlike]

Yeah, I didn't think about that. Thanks.

[JayBachatero]

It's just one of those additional and optional options.

-Dan The Man

[JayBachatero]

oic.  maybe it should be added to the theme options were you can check it off if you want it on or off.

[Xarcell]

Hey, can we get this tread listed in teh tip & tricks index?

If not already listed (if I overlooked).

Thanx,

THis is kinda weird, but it replaces the MODIFY tab on my forum rather than sits alongside it....

Alignment is off.
The up button is a couple of pixels aboue the others.

I removed the

align="top"

and made it

'" border="0" />'

and it aligns just fine.
