How to scroll through a topic in forum

I understand why these old threads get combined and bumped, but it can be difficult to scroll all the way down. And I don’t see an option for jumping to the end.

Hi @Katie,
This is another way the website is different from the app. @Snowbird 's instructions work on the app. If you’re using the website, go to this screen and click on the number of replies.

You can use the method @Snowbird helpfully mentioned, or on the desktop version of Discourse you can use the scroll bar on the right (thin line with very slightly thicker section) by clicking on it and quickly sliding it to the bottom. It’s not very obvious, but when you find it it does work well :slight_smile:

It works on desktop as well by hovering over till the finger pointy thingie comes up then click. Takes you right to the end.
