Implemented Add a Back to Top Button

Doing some searching, this was suggested before, but it was closed due to a lack of interest.

But, anyway, as title. I really find this useful, especially in long threads. Sure, the Page Up key is faster than scrolling, but a back to top button is even faster and instant.

@MattW already has an add-on for this, but I think it should be in the core, in my opinion.

Like my friend says:

Implementation is everything.

Hmm. I've just noticed that the Top link is not available in responsive. It's most useful there as you can't use a Home key on a mobile device.

Maybe this should be raised as a separate suggestion?
 
CTRL/HOME that requires two hands.. lol just noticed i have two home buttons, one of them only requires a finger, im good.
 
It's easy with a template edit, though I don't know why you'd want to remove an easy way to go back to the top. (Admittedly, it's a bit "obsolete," so to speak, when you can just press the Home key and such, but still.)

On our board, I colored it Purple so it would be a little more obvious to our users...

I did so by editing the Phrase go_to_top
FROM:
Code:
Top
TO:
Code:
<font color=#FF3399>Top</font>

If you'll just remove 'Top' from the Phrase Text box (and leave it empty) then the LINK will disappear...

EDIT:
It looks like it's this line of code in the footer Template
Code:
<li><a href="{$requestPaths.requestUri}#navigation" class="topLink">{xen:phrase go_to_top}</a></li>
That you would want to comment out.(i.e. <xen:comment>code to ignore here</xen:comment>)
