Oh man, I've gotta strongly disagree with this. To me, those are just distracting and in practice often end up being fidgety. For tall webpages I think an easy and simple alternative is having a link like <a href="#">top</a> at the bottom of the document or wherever it makes sense. Unfortunately it seems like many designers don't really go for easy and simple.
- Ajedi32 10y agoEh, those links tend to be difficult to find and not very useful in my experience. Usually it's not much harder to just scroll back to the top manually. Plus the "show on scroll up" bars have the advantage of making it easy to access the top navigation without losing your place on the page, which is useful if you just want to open a link from the top bar in a new tab or quickly check your notifications or something.
- mathw 10y agoI find the ones that reappear when you scroll up are quite annoying, particularly on mobile which is, sadly, where you actually need them more! In this case, I am utterly indifferent to Stack Overflow's being fixed. At least it's not going to surprise me.
