You know Justin, I was thinking....and actually, i got this from board my members.
A back to top button would be nice. I saw its quite irritating when a person browse a looong thread and youmust scroll up manually. I saw other boards has a "back to top" button on beneath each profile block of the poster.

So inserting one there rather at the bottom would be nice. Think you would do it?

hmmm, not quite, i can build that into the template, but it woul help a bit. Didn't think of that. But i was more think of building a button showing up in each post, for example just beneath each persons Reputation.

I think this could be very usefull. You ssee, if your halfway down, and you decides not to go down any further, then you don't wanna scroll down to get the "back to top" button, cause for the same price you could scroll up, and we back to square one.

I know what you mean now, the blue up and down arrows like on the front page of the forum but actually in the messages.

Ignore this, got it wrong, but I know what you mean, going to have a play.

Sonny...

A quick fix for you... open MessageDisplay.pl and look for:

Code

<td><span class="smalltext">$homepage$email$instmsg</span></td>

and change to:

Code

<td><span class="smalltext"><a href="#mainbg"><img src="$images/back2top.gif" border="0"></a>$homepage$email$instmsg</span></td>

Then upload the attached image to your images directory.

You have to rename the graphic to 'back2top.gif'.

try this instead

Code

<td><span class="smalltext"><a href="" onclick="javascript(window.scrollTo(0,0))><img src="$images/back2top.gif" border="0"></a>$homepage$email$instmsg</span></td>

see if that works. I don't know much about browser compatibility. Othello would have to verify that.

ok, i fixed it by doing the old html coding. i inserted this on top of the template.

<a name="mainbg">

So its near enough. it jumps to the top of the page. Thanks for all your help.

You're right, sorry. �This does work though, I tried it:

Code

<a href="javascript:window.scrollTo(0,0)">return to top</a>

you can replace the text "return to top" with the img tag if you want. �

The replacement should look like this:

Code

<td><span class="smalltext"><a href="javascript:window.scrollTo(0,0)"><img src="$images/back2top.gif" border="0"></a>$homepage$email$instmsg</span></td>

(for accuracy's sake, I should say I tried the command on a web page, not as a modification to eblah, but it should work)

I made a mod because it is easier to go through the mod list and see it all laid out in one place rather than manually editing file with every upgrade.

Mine puts the button on the right.
