Code to copy

// Add a floating back-to-top button for long threads
(function () {
  if (document.getElementById('jz-hn-top')) { return; }
  const btn = document.createElement('button');
  btn.id = 'jz-hn-top';
  btn.textContent = '↑ Top';
  btn.style.cssText = 'position:fixed;bottom:20px;right:20px;z-index:9999;' +
    'padding:8px 14px;background:#ff6600;color:#fff;border:none;' +
    'border-radius:6px;font-weight:bold;cursor:pointer;display:none;' +
    'box-shadow:0 2px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);';
  btn.addEventListener('click', function () {
    window.scrollTo({ top: 0, behavior: 'smooth' });
  });
  document.body.appendChild(btn);
  window.addEventListener('scroll', function () {
    btn.style.display = window.scrollY > 600 ? 'block' : 'none';
  });
})();
