Description

Given the amount of feedback we have received about the new placing of attachments, I think it makes sense to do something about it.

The two obvious choices are 1) reverting or 2) ignoring the feedback. Neither of those seem particularly attractive, so I'd like to offer a third choice: Adding a "scroll to bottom" indicator, I imagine something like a little indicator on the top or bottom right that shows a clip icon and a little number, in a design that indicates that a click on it will scroll to the bottom of the page.

Thoughts? I would also very much appreciate a design mockup for this indicator, if anything would be up for that (@moctodot maybe?)
