That's something I was talking to Don about. I thought having a "return to top" link for every single post was redundant and poor design. My solution was to take a more modern approach and have a button in the bottom right corner of the screen that appeared when you scrolled down the page. That how most modern websites over the last few years have done it.

However, he wasn't sure how many people actually used that feature so it's something I put on the back burner in order to get other things finished and the design released.

Now that's you've asked about, I assume you use it. Therefore I'm going to assume others use it as well. So I'll go ahead and implement my idea.

P.s: Why not tag me if you want my attention?

I got a suggestion, Why not have the community chat like IMVU's or even facebook? Therefor no matter where you are on the site you can just give a reply?

Are you talking about the chat bar on the bottom of facebook's site that lets you talk with people? If so, we had that at one point but it became too intensive on the server and was buggy if you had multiple tabs open. I personally fought to remove it and was glad to see it go.

If that's not what you mean then I'm not sure what chat you're talking about. If you mean some sort of system that lets you reply to topics from anywhere, I don't see that happening. I don't know of any forums that has a system like that and I think the coding for it would be a nightmare. Either way, before we can do any real time systems, we'd have to upgrade the server.

Perhaps that will change when we start upgrading our phpbb installation.

Ah! I see I was late for the game but alright! o3o Oh well, but how about a Mafia App/Mobile site? I know that is maybe beyond the realms but Doesn't hurt to ask. xD

A mobile version is on the to-do list. We planning more site upgrades in the future. But considering all of the work is done by Don and I. Between his 60hrs a week government work and me self teaching myself everything plus creating programs, it takes a long time.

Ideally I would like to make the site more responsive but right now that it just too much work that I don't have the time do to unless I put everything else on hold for a few months minimum.

Alright, I've added a return to top button. Due to the way the html is structured, I couldn't find an elegant way to add just a single button elegantly. So instead I added it to the bottom right of each post. For now this will have to do.
