This simple mod does what is says on the tin, it adds a Top button in the postbit footer using the vBulletin 4.0.2 css convention for mouseover buttons.

Note: This mod is NOT compatible with vBulletin 4.0.1 or earlier.



This is a mod I've always used because, as simple as it may be, a Top button in the bottom right of each postbit, can dramatically speed up the navigation of your site. No more spinning that mouse wheel trying to get back to the menus.

There are...
1x addition to the postbit.css template
1x addition to the posbit (and/or postbit_legacy) template
2x images to upload
