You do know that with a precise tap at the top of the browser on the iPad you will automatically scroll to the top of the page? It's not the most convenient thing given it's hard to get it right sometimes, but it beats the hell out of swiping back to the top.

Please re-read the bolded.
EDIT: Note that such a change shouldn't be hard to make. Given that bottom thread breadcrumb navigation is standard in most forums, it's likely a matter of just changing a forum setting. If not, then some form of copying the breadcrumb nav code (or just the results) and pasting it in the right spot should suffice. I've worked on PHP apps for nearly a decade. This kind of thing should be fairly trivial in terms of difficulty, if not time.
I understand that staff, especially the mods, are busy. I also understand that they're not required to fulfill my request. That said, from a design/UX POV, it's weird that it's not there, and it affects how well I can use the site on the whole. It's a small QoL addition that would help me, and likely others with mobility issues, out.

Kev - in case my response wasn't clear, I just don't have the time to do it right now - but I will when I have the time, unless someone else beats me to it.
It isn't a forum setting, it's a matter of copying some PHP from one display template to another. Locating the templates in question is the time consuming part.

I can see how it would be useful for others. I just use a different computer for each page.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Ah, fair enough.

Done. Does the placement work for you?

Seems good at first blush, gotta play with it more to confirm.
Thanks for working on it so quickly!
