There are posts on the Codex that are really long, typically due to containing lots of images. Sometimes you want to reply to or brofist those posts after reading them. That requires you to scroll back up to the top of the post, which can get tiresome. If you're a regular reader of the various GIF threads in GD then you'll know what I'm talking about.

How about adding a link back to the top at the bottom of each post? You could also replicate the reply/brofist/etc buttons at the bottom, but that would probably look bad. The ultimate solution I guess would be to implement some sort of context menu type of thing that lets you gain access to those buttons from anywhere within a post.

Isn't that similar enough to PageUP? I don't have a problem with that suggestion, though.

[insert "Stop posting walls of text for fuck's sake" line]

How about returning the size of text in quotes to the way it was before the recent change? That should reduce the amount of tiresome scrolling on many long posts.

That won't do anything for images though.

Brofists need to be earned. If the user isn't willing to scroll up, then you clearly haven't earned it.

There's this oldskool contraption called a key-board that has this funny "Home" button. Try pressing.

If I could make a suggestion of my own, please remove Infinitron's ability to scroll pages. He clearly doesn't have time to utilize such a laborious feature, so quit tempting him by having it available.

Endorse! It's really hard to scroll back up a LP thread, or tits thread, or any thread with lots of pictures in a post. It's a necessary feature of Codex Playground threads.

It'd make sense to move Brofist, Reply and add Post Top to the bottom of every post. Having Brofisting and Replying at the top of every post doesn't make much sense but I guess it was done for aesthetic reasons, so that there's not another command row at the bottom of every post. From a usability POV it's retarded, however. You want to brofist when you read to the bottom of every post so the link to do it should be there as well.

You know, we do have a mod where the brofist option appears at the bottom...

The entire bar could be moved to the bottom.

This would only encourage Infinitron bad behavior in harvesting brofists.

I wouldn't bother just moving one thing there as it'd probably look out of place. Would have to be at least 3 things to make it worth moving around. Either that, or change it from text to a button/icon.

It'd make sense to move Brofist, Reply and add Post Top to the bottom of every post. Having Brofisting and Replying at the top of every post doesn't make much sense but I guess it was done for aesthetic reasons, so that there's not another command row at the bottom of every post. From a usability POV it's retarded, however. You want to brofist when you read to the bottom of every post so the link to do it should be there as well.
The entire bar could be moved to the bottom.

Possibly... but it gets crowded down there if you've got a signature and any brofists. But then again, works for me: http://www.sorcerers.net/forums/showthread.php?t=48879&page=13#304

Click in post, shift+tab. As long as there isn't an obnoxious number of quotes (or links in general) in the post, anyway.
