From time to time (like now), this useless and annoying feature seems to get activated: when you click a GA, it thanks you for marking a great answer—and pops you to the top so you lose your place.

I don’t think we need to be thanked for acknowledging someone’s response. Thanking them is thanks enough.

More to the point, having to scroll back down to where we were, especially in a long thread, is just a needless extra step.

Could we (please, Ben) banish this will-o’-the-wisp feature for good?
