add an up or top of page link
Apr 20 2007, 10:38 PM EDT
Please consider adding an Up or Top of Page link at the bottom of the body (main/center) section after the comments. The thing is after the body stuff, keywords etc. box, google ads and all the comments, a user has to scroll quite a bit to get back to any links that may be in the main section, the navigation box and the page toolbox.

Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion. Wetpaint doesn't support anchor links at the moment, but one thing I do sometimes is add a link at the bottom of the page that is for the same page you're on. If you click on it, the page will refresh and return you to the top of the page. It's not the most economical solution, but it does the trick in a pinch. Do you find this valuable?

Pardon me, but I am stupid to this lingo, i.e., "anchor links". Excuse me, but when you suggested to adding a link for the same page at the bottom of the same page does not address the issue I bring up. What I mean by "bottom of the page" is AFTER ALL the Comments (very lengthy with a lot of postings), plus this section starts only after the section with the Latest page updates, Keyword tags, More info, Bookmarks and beyond that after all the Ads by Google. I do not see a way to add an "Up" or "Top of Page" button after the list of Comments (which is what I consider the bottom of the page). I had a few people test my site and they complained that there was too much vertical scrolling just to get to the comments section. Do you find this valuable?

Anchor links are an HTML feature that allows one to link to specific places on a page so that you can quickly jump from one place to another on the same page.

When viewing a Wetpaint page it will only show the last 5 comments posted, so the bottom of the page content should always be fairly close at hand. You are correct in that a link cannot be added below the comments section.
