Reducing the large gap between "Save Changes" and the Text Box?

If a profile has a lot siblings and a lot of children listed (like the one in the link below - 11 siblings and 10 children), there is a large gap between the Save Changes button and the beginning of the text box, requiring some dedicated scrolling after saving.

Is there any way we could "bump up" the text box so that it always remains just under the Save Changes button, no matter how many siblings and children?

Jus' wonderin'. smiley

There are two "Save Changes" buttons, one directly underneath the "Edit Data" fields and another directly below the "Edit Text" box, it might be easier to scroll down than up, when editing the bio/sources on the large family profiles.

True that. However, after saving (with either button) the new edit page goes all the way to the top.

And I find that, if I use the lower 'Save Changes' button, I forget to fill in the 'Explain Your Changes' box higher up. wink

And true that, too! Ha!
Yeah, I forgot about that bit. I must admit I do scroll a lot myself, as I also use the preview button a lot which is low down. A floating save button might work but might also be a bit irritating when you don't want to edit. Using Pg Up and Pg Dn buttons might be easier than scrolling, I use them when viewing lists.

Alternative solution: Change your browser settings so that your zoom% is below 100%, it helps

Fast Scroll:  Hold the mouse wheel down and a 4-headed arrow magically appears, move it slow ... or fast   faster   fastest, be careful to stay in the atmosphere.

Would you believe I never figured out how I got that four-arrow cursor until you explained it? Duh! Thanks, Jo!!yes

That depends on your browser and your operating system. It won't work everywhere.
