Voting button

Here's a quickie -- and I'm sure I'm not the only one who would enjoy this:

how about a VOTE button at the top of the page (as well as at the bottom)? The Monestary Gates and Newest Nodes can get quite large, and often I want to just vote on one of the top 5 nodes, without scrolling all the way down.
I know I can set my limits to have smaller pages, but I would rather have a second vote button. It seems that most monks are enthusiastic about the voting system, and this would probably go over quite well.

Depending on the browser, hitting enter while a radio button's got focus will submit the form.	[reply]

I know. . .also, HOME and END seem to work well for jumping to the top and bottom of a long page in IE, but I still think it would be nice... --twerq	[reply]

I think this may have been brought up before - unfortunately, I can't find any related nodes. In previous discussions (or are those all in my mind?), there were some monks that argued that the vote button is at the bottom for a reason; namely, to encourage those with votes to read the entire thread before submitting their ++'s or --'s. While I do find it annoying to have to scroll down to the bottom of a long thread to finally vote, it keeps me involved in the thread. --PotPieMan	[reply]

At the risk of sounding redundant, I think this would be a good idea. I often will reread the page in reverse (bottom to top) after I read through once, I often end up going back to the bottom of the page just to vote. Though this would only be a convience. --SparkeyG	[reply]


No such thing as a small change
