Description from store
If you are frustrated of scrolling up and down while composing your email replies in Gmail, THIS IS THE EXTENSION YOU NEED!
This will move the reply/compose box from the bottom of the page to the top of the page. You can now see the latest email in the thread as you type, without have to scroll up and down. This is especially loved by Outlook users who are used to the reverse chronological view.
I developed this after I could not find any solution. After using it for a while, I have noticed a significant boost in email productivity ... no more scrolling for those long conversation threads!
NOTE: Refresh/reopen the Gmail tab for the extension to start working.

- finally! thank you for this extension. the one i had been using stopped working and all the others keep the REPLY at the bottom which is so counter intuitive.
- Tuesday Wolf
- Does not work. I'm through with Gmail nonsense. Guess I'm stuck going to back to Outlook
- Beth Ziegler
- very poor consistency ! reopen email of a draft and its on the bottom again conversation view opens on top but the scroll bar jumops to the bottom -- uggg. open a draft in conversational an dagain on the bottome so now you have a thread with impoirtant people and the dame thread is a mess of when who responded .... gmail is so so so unprofessional
- Josh Baer
- Didn't work. Looking at the description, it specifically mentions conversation threads, so maybe it only works in conversation view, which is the first thing I turn off on installing Chrome on a new machine.
- Georgina Mas de Xaxars
- I agree with Aing Kruechalee’s comment: it would be great if, when clicking “Reply”, the editor also appeared at the top of the conversation so we wouldn’t have to scroll all the way up. Thanks
- Aing Kruechalee
- So far it works pretty well. One criticism/feedback is when you hit "Reply", it jumps to the bottom of the thread instead of staying at the top. Could you update so stay/jump back to the top where the reply box is?

- A really helpful extension, works really well (ignore what others say about it only working once - it's worked fine for me for years) but be warned it interferes with the appearance of some emails, making them only properly visible if viewed in a new window. Otherwise, very useful :)

- I've had this on my email since my company went to Gsuite, then all of a sudden it stopped working. I could previously remove and readd the extension and it would work. Now it does not work at all. :-( Please fix. This is a very useful extension when it works. Thanks!
- Gretchen Cherington
- I used this once after adding the extension but as soon as I refreshed Gmail, it wasn't there anymore. This just seems ridiculous to not have the option of putting one's response at the top as in MS Outlook. How do I get the extension to stick?
- Erin Courts -KY
- I had this on my email for a while now and it works great, then all of a sudden it was not on my computer and luckily someone showed me how to get it back on there but now I have to keep removing the extension and adding it back to Chrome. Not very efficient.

- Does this only work in reading pane mode?

- I've been using this for about 3 years and it works fine as expected

- It works fine when replying to an email; however, replying to a reply (as in when you have an exchange via email) does not work. When I reply to a reply using this extension, the 2nd reply goes to the bottom of the now much longer email.

- Doesn't work with or without reading pane on. Shame because it's much needed given the glaring oversight from the Google Devs.

- This does not work. It semi-worked for about a week or so, although the reply box WAS at the top of the email, you still had to scroll to get to it, which is pointless. Now it doesn't even do that, as the reply is at the bottom. Would be nice if this could get fixed.

- This works well! However, like the other comments said: Clicking reply causes the screen to jump to the bottom of the top reply and forces you to scroll back up to type your message. A slight inconvenience, but at least the reply window is at the top as well with the last email message.

- Hello, this isn't working. I would love it if it worked because I'm so used to Outlook but my company is using Google tools more and more so I have to move to gmail. Can you please fix it or give better instructions on how to make it work?

- Would be great, if it worked. Worked for a while a year or two ago. Then started randomly not working. Now, it causes the entire email body to appear BLANK for various emails that have rich text, embedded images or formatting (such as "A document has been shared with you" or "Share request for [filename]" emails directly from Google)! Basically, makes email behave erratically and not display properly. I really hate gmail's stupid reply at the bottom or conversation-view nonsense and wish this extension would be fixed so it actually works!!!

- Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. IT says its fixed but then it breaks again. When it works, it works well, unfortunately I need it to work all the time. Please fix this once and for all!

- Was working brilliantly with no issues now it doesn't work unless you click the app and reload the page every single time you go into gmail and even then it doesn't seem to work for every email... Very frustrating as who want to keep reloading the page to use an app... Cannot find a fix either... EDIT: This has now stopped working altogether!
