    "Top" button at the bottom of pages

    This button is basically useless as it forces a reload of the current page, linked to "top" anchor which is placed at the top of each page.

    Can it just be altered to run "window.scrollTo(0,0);" as its click event?

    What browser/OS are you using? I have tested the button on Firefox (on a Mac) and it all seems move without reloading anything.

    I think the issue is that if you have pressed the "top" button, then scroll down. You cant press the top button again. It does work the first time though.

    Nope, that works for me too. IE 9 Win7Pro. Clicking the button should just move the page to the #top anchor point at anytime (which it did for me).

    I'm having the same problem every time I go to a thread I have posted to and click to read a reply I'm sent to the start of the Thread some years before my post some times it opens a new tab at the start or the thread.
    it's making it impossible for me to read replies or respond any suggestions on how to solve this?
    I'm using IE 9 on Win 7 Ultimate.

    I gave up on IE ages ago, jumped to Chrome. It's so much faster to load pages!
