In the previous version, this option was present in the bottom too. Was it good ? Nope, it was a redundant thing. I asked that time to remove the bottom part and the answer was Nope (it was like someone was contemplating the page in its whole narcissism). In fact, any static info that it?s perpetuated in every message it?s bad (for regulars).
A workaround such as a Top link was proposed which solves the problem with a mouse click instead of a keyboard combo (Ctrl Home). The consequence ? Some few bytes added to every page. Sounds minor, but multiply it with thousands opened messages and you?ll see that every excedent luggage counts.
Taking into account that long threads are only in SE and relatively rare in Tech Forums, we can just ignore this and move on.

And piece together the past and the future,
When we click on a post and it opens, at the top part of the screen there is an option to go back to main forum or back to current forum. After reading the post (and then viewing whats beneath) the only options are to go to next unread or next message. After an especially long thread, it can be a long climb back up to options to return to the main forum/current forum. Would it be a good thing to have these options on the bottom as well? Thanks.
