My pleasure Ian, I'm not a highly trained computer expert for nothing! Wink
btw, you need to make sure your cursor is not in any boxes, such as the reply box, otherwise it won't take you to the top of the page, only the current line or box.
"End" will also take you to (I'll leave you to guess that one)...LOL

if you add such a button at the bottom of the page, than you would first have to go to the bottom of the page in order to get to the top of the page again,

so I think, we should add a link at the center of the page that takes you to the bottom of the page immediatly (since that's the only place were you can use the button for get to the top of the page, it would be no use to make such a bottom at the top of the page, since you are already there if you can press it).

maybe also add links at 1/4 and 3/4 of the page, and of course the link at 1/4 should lead to the center of the page, so from there on you can proceed to the bottom of the page, and subsequently to the top of the page. the link at 3/4 of a page should lead straigt to the top of the page, since it would be just as fast to scroll down to the bottom, this will save some time scrolling down.

maybe also add links and buttons to this post, so people will understand how to use those buttoned links.

Pressing "Home" should take you back to the top.

There are some pretty long lists produced in PA, be it the Top 100 albums, Bands by letter, Albums by letter, etc. Would it be possible to get a button or link at the bottom of the page to take me straight back to the top of the page again?

 
Just a little thing that I think would improve the PA experience.
 
Cheers,
