I'd love to see Hacker News add a footer to the bottom of discussion pages, even if it's just an orange bar (like at the top) with no additional text. The reason for this is that as I scroll down the page by pressing the space bar, it's not immediately apparent when I've scrolled to the bottom, and when this happens, the spot where I stopped reading (before scrolling) is somewhere in the middle of the page, not at the top. It's a little disorienting to re-read the same comments again and not realize that you're doing it.

I browse Hacker News from my iPhone, and due to the text size and link placements, I frequently mis-click, hitting user profile lnks instead of the story links. On other sites, this is fine, as I have time to hit stop and tap ok the correct link. Not so on HN - the profile page loads before I realize I've made a mistake.

So please, throw some for(i=0;i<10000;i++) loops in there. My productivity depends on it.
