Add "Back to top" on all microsoft tech community pages
Community Manager
Thanks for posting, sorry I have not had an opportunity to reply sooner.
Yes your right we used to have a button on the right hand side to skip to top, the problem was we needed to add skip links for users who use keyboards and screen readers to help them navigate around the whole page. This broke our previous implementation of jump to top and so we had to remove it. We will investigate bringing it back in the fall, after Microsoft Ignite is completed.
In the mean time you can always use the home button on your keyboard to jump back to the top of the page or you can make use of the skip links.
Skip links work by pressing tab once the page has loaded or by editing the url with the anchor text below.
| Name | Anchor |
| Skip to main content | #content |
| Skip to Topic Message (The first reply in a thread) | #topicMessage |
| Skip to sidebar content | #sidebarContent |
| Skip to footer content | #footerContent |
| Skip to Primary Navigation | #primaryNav |
So to skip to the top of this message you would take the url
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/community-discussion/add-quot-back-to-top-quot-on-all-microsoft-tech-community-pages/m-p/1623245and change it to:
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/community-discussion/add-quot-back-to-top-quot-on-all-microsoft-tech-community-pages/m-p/1623245#content
Now as you can see it's going to be super simple to bring back the jump to top functionality, so I do not think it will be long after Microsoft Ignite before we can make this change 🙂
