"Return to top" button, why no "go to bottom" one?

Exactly as the title really.

When I'm surfing PH forums on my phone and I get to the bottom of a page, there's a button that will return me straight to the top, but to get to the bottom to read the latest posts in the first place I have to spend half an hour scrolling down to it?

Or am I missing something?

It looks the same as the desktop version. How would I tell the difference?

Also, just clicked on the arrow next to the topic and it takes me to the last page, not the last post.

I'm oldschool. I go down the page.

Then I must be on the mobile version.

That arrow only takes me to the last page though, not the last post.

Checked and double-checked this. That arrow only takes me to the top of the last page, not the latest post.

FYI my preferences are set so the latest post appears at the bottom of the page.

Ah, ok. I wasn't sure if anything was going on or it was just user incompetence. wink
