  Notice there's already this exact suggestion by fharper1961 rb that page. Only 2 upvotes so far...

    Yeah. 61 days ago, and no replies yet. Add a footer to the comments page. Justification : When I page down and hit the end of a page of comments, there is no visual cue in the page telling me that I'm at the bottom. Since I think I've gone down a full page, I lose track of where I was reading; which is annoying.

      Should I assume that most of the people who want this have opted to hide the scroll bar that's normally on right hand side of their browser? Because for the other 99% of HN users, adding an orange footer would be visually redundant and only make the page uglier.

        It would be safer to assume that most people, when reading/focusing on the text in the middle of page, don't actually SEE the scroll bar. I have a scroll bar but have this is an issue for me as well. When I'm reading a thread of comments my visual focus ignores the periphery of the window.

        It doesn't have to be an orange <hr>. Something as simple as a centered faded "Y" or ◆ would do.
