Wormhole to Top: Fastest Way to Reach the Top!

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the "Wormhole to the top" feature on a forum, with users expressing their appreciation for its functionality. There are requests for the wormhole image to also link back to the top, as some users primarily click the image rather than the text. Users report varying experiences with the wormhole's position depending on their browser, with some suggesting it should consistently be centered. Additionally, there are calls for special effects to enhance the wormhole experience, including visual and audio elements. Overall, the conversation highlights user engagement and suggestions for improving the wormhole feature.

I know there already exists a thread on 'goto top'. But.

I really like the 'Wormhole to the top'. It fits PF wonderfully well. Thanks, Greg.

Enjoy! Remember, keep your hands to yourself when inside the wormhole :)
 
I like the wormhole link, but I tend to click on the wormhole image, not the accompanying text, and it doesn't do anything. Could the wormhole image also link back to the top? (I'm using Chrome, if it makes any difference).

Roger that
 
Nice. Not only does the wormhole itself now work, but I think Greg arranged for it to go back in time a little and fixed it even before I asked for it!
 
I still think that we need special effects.

Somebody ambitious needs to implement the stuff in these papers by Thomas Muller:

"Visual appearance of a Morris-Thorne-Wormhole," American Journal of Physics 72, 1045-1050 (2004);

"Exact geometric optics in a Morris-Thorne wormhole spacetime," Physical Review D 77, 044043 (2008).

Unfortunately, both of these nice papers are behind paywalls, i.e., neither is on the arXiv.
 
I don't like that the wormhole is, in some posts, in the middle(ish) and in other posts is on the right side. Make it in the middle regardless of being a multi-page thread or not.

What browser? For me it's always in the middle when using Chrome.

always at the bottom with Firefox 29.0.1

This isn't a problem for me, just a data point.

Using Firefox, the wormhole is to the right for single-page threads, and in the middle for multiple-page threads. (Based on a data sample of 2, anyway.)

Me too, using Chrome. Surely it has to do with the page list being on the right when there is more than one page.

Yes! Bling! Sparklers! Fireworks! Maybe a whooshing sound.

Or maybe use some sort of Causal Dynamical Triangulation software that members can make use of in MY PF.

That's not what I see in Chrome for single page threads. I think the Wormhole appears in the centre for you because of the "Moderation" drop down menu. Normal users doesn't have that so the Wormhole appears on the right.

I have another cool idea. When I select a long-hot thread in usercp, it leads to the top of the page, instead can you make a wormhole to the bottom at the top of this page.?

I think you might have figured it out!

The wormhole is a little unstable and may change locations from time to time.

The easy solution is to give us all moderation menus.

There should be a +1 button or whatever. I laughed reading your post, thank you!

Also, following what others said, in my browser (latest firefox) it is never centered. It kind of pisses me off. It's a little bit to the left (for single pages threads)..

Click the http://physicsforums.bernhardtmediall.netdna-cdn.com/images/physicsforums/buttons/firstnew.gif icon, it will take you to the first unread post (or what the forum considers as such).
