(Bottom) & (Top) links

[Computer Hope Admin]

A feature has been requested to add a bottom and top link to pages so it can be easier to navigate to where you want to go on the forum without too much scrolling.

So I've added a new (Bottom) and (Top) link to the right of the Pages: shown at the top of each of the board listings and posts in the default classic template as shown in the below example.

Nice feature Nathan, but it seems a bit quirky.

If I go to a thread, click bottom, click top, then use the browser back button, it goes to top, repeat back button and it goes to bottom, click back button again and finally goes to the CH index.

Seems like each top and bottom click registers a new page load on the browser stack, even though you're only navigating within the same page.

Am I using this wrongly?

Yep, same here.

This is how Internet browsers handle anchor links. I'm not familiar with a way to get an anchor link to be ignored and the browser to back to the previous page instead of the previous anchor. All pages with anchors will do the same thing when hitting the back arrow.

Bah . . . I don't like it . . . hehe, I'm awkward, I know.
I'll get used to it.  I just keep clicking the wrong links now.

Here is a Firefox about:config tweak I can't live without.

Go to the top or bottom of a page with a single middle mouse button click.

Type about:config in the address bar and hit enter.

In the filter list of the about:config window enter the following:

middlemouse.scrollbarPosition

Right click the entry that comes up in the window and click toggle to change the value to true

Restart Firefox. Then middle click anywhere in the scroll bar area and the page/scrollbar instantly jumps to where you click. Top, bottom, middle or anywhere you desire.

Haven't even used them yet...

Ah that clicking back and ending up on the same page again  is cute

I think I need to play with a little, I just learn to like everything, you all must learn from me.

If you dont like playing around like that, just use the drop-down feature on the back button and find the page you want.
