    Ok I have a version of the Dark theme without them. You can select it in the style drop down at the bottom and select the Dark without Quick Page Jumps option

    As I did this in my own time so haven't billed Karl if anyone wants to say thanks my Buy Me A Coffee page is in my signature

    As a right hander, one too has annoyances with the green up and down arrows. The amount of time, I've been reading a page, looked to scroll down and boom, back to the previous page.

    Same as for when your typing in the comments section here. Typing away your text and you scroll to read, your whole comment before commenting further/submitting and boom, same again, back to previous page with the latter part of your message deleted (assume due to draft saved).

    So an upvote here on getting rid of this blasted green up/down button.

    I'm not sure tbh. I can't find a setting for it.

    If I get some spare time I might see if I can hack something up to allow a choice but as its not something Karl has requested and thus I would be doing it in my own time its far from at the top of my list of things to do so I can't give you a timescale

    Yet another post zapped by an accidental press of the green arrows that appeared from nowhere. I'm not typing it again!

    This thing is pissing off punters and posts are being lost. I won't be the only one thinking it.

    (it happened twice when doing this post but I persevered this time to raise the issue.)

    Possibly, I'm just explaining what happening when I try and edit my posts. It happens reasonably often and unless you type very slowly you lose a good majority of the post you're trying to make.

    Just done it again in a reply to Asafa. I only pressed the green arrow once (by accident) and its taken me back to the home page and I've lost my post.

    The green one definitely takes to to the main page, not just scrolls up or down.

    This also happens to me a fair bit, it's very annoying. The arrows appear and I get redirected back to the home page.

    Thanks Simon. I'll buy you a coffee next time you're in Northern Scotland. Got some great cafes on the High Street here so I can treat you to a homebake too.

    I use it a lot. When I've finished reading a thread I hit the green Up arrow to return to the top of the page and then hit New Posts. Beats tediously scrolling up. The arrow disappears on my phone when I'm typing a post, so I don't understand what the problem is. Please don't get rid of it.

    not sure, but it did used to be an option. But I might be thinking of C&B.

    @SimonW@SimonW would know

    The green arrow only takes you up or down the page so shouldn’t delete your post unless you are then touching something else too

    Yes, that's the one. It usually appears if I'm editing the text I've typed. When I then try to press the screen at the end of the text to continue typing the green arrow appears and i click it inadvertently.

    No, the back button is on the other side of the screen.

    It absolutely can't take you back a page as it does not have that ability.

    The page has two #xenforo anchor links embeded in it, one at the top and one at the bottom.

    When you click the button its sends a request to follow the link along with a variable of top or bottom to the the javascript which triggers a no-reload page load using javascript and to the relevant anchor link . It CAN NOT reload the page and certainly CAN NOT load another page. If you are experiencing it going back to the home page then you are clicking something else that is causing that not those nav buttons
