Even though it's not hard scrolling I think it would be a productive feature if we could simply press a button to let the forum scroll up. Just an idea...

Just hit the home button on your keyboard it's literally faster than scrolling to a button on screen.

Forgive me this is going to sound really stupid but where is the home button on the keyboard as I would like to make use of this feature.

In terms of the average keyboard like such;https://i.imgur.com/Y5VIO8P.png
Usually find it either at the side with Page Up and Page Down. Laptops it's usually top right I'm sure?

The alternative in Theme Settings change it to move with scroll: https://i.imgur.com/4HxhGmu.png
Click home to go back to the top as well.
If on mobile just hit the Nulled at the top to return to the top of the home page.

On MacOS, the theme and the scrollbar blends in as they are both black, and this makes it really hard to scroll anywhere. A scroll button would be very convenient.

Adding a "back to top" button in the bottom right corner is a great idea.

There is an anchor tag in the source of the site which suggests that this was an intended feature in the past.

The only issue is that the href value is what keeps this from working as intended since my tests with Javascript always results in redirecting to the homepage when clicked.

So my way of doing this was by using the following Javascript/ECMAScript code:
Code:
function totop() {
document.body.scrollTop = document.documentElement.scrollTop = 0;
}

let foot = document.getElementsByClassName('spacer-left-5 spacer-right-5')[0],
adiv = document.createElement('div'),
link = document.createElement('a');

adiv.setAttribute('class', 'footer-link');
link.setAttribute('href', 'javascript:totop()');
link.innerHTML = 'Goto top of page';
adiv.appendChild(link);
foot.appendChild(adiv);
With some extra touches (mainly CSS) this could wind up looking like it was a part of the site (this works best as a greasemonkey/tampermonkey script).
