A "Back to Top" button at the bottom of the page? I long for this every time I have to scroll back up on my laptop using the side bar, or up arrow. Not such a problem on a phone or iPad, but on a PC it would be SOOOOOO useful!

Just to add to what Maizie says:

If you are using Windows 10, you will have to press the little button next to the Windows button as well as the Home Key. I don't know what it's called on the UK keyboard, it's "Fn" on the German one.

(Between Ctrl and the Windows Logo at the bottom left)

It must be your laptop, JackyB. I'm on Windows 10 and just use the Home and End keys, nothing else...

What I have problems with is taking a screen print...

Anyone?

Is a back to the top key the same as ‘flip’ ?

I wish we were given a definitive reason for not allowing us a Like button.

No, not really - flip means to change the order of the posts from oldest at the top to latest at the top (and back again of course, if you ‘flip’ again)

Thanks Bathsheba so I can flip but can’t find the Back to the Top button, heyho.

OP posts are always green on my phone and my own are always pink. I thought this was standard.

Would like a GN app too while we're at it!

Lucca isn't that what Natasha has said in the last sentence: "and highlight the OP's posts"?

My fault !! Had a bad day yesterday and missed that sentence completely. Apologies.

On my iPad currently only the OP first one is green not their subsequent replies.

If you are on an iPhone or iPad you can touch the time in the top left hand corner ,you will shoot back to the top.

"Finger-down-throat" icon please!

Melanie61 Tue 11-Aug-20 10:56:22

Luckygirl , why?

Lucca Tue 11-Aug-20 10:59:00

@MaizieD thank you SOO much! I've never known what the home and end keys were for! What a great thing to know to simplify using sites without the 'back to the top' thingy.

Mostly for the Trump threads!!
