Description: This modification greatly enhances the existing breadcrumb line making it more akin to UBB.x. Iconic seperators become popup navigation menus to access other areas of the site. Also reformats and cleans up the existing breadcrumb and post navigation area maximizing space.

New Files: * /includes/breadCrumbMenu.js * /images/globe.gif (borrowed from Infopop's UBB.x as a starting point) * /images/forumHop.gif (borrowed from Infopop's UBB.x as a starting point) * /images/hopTo.gif (borrowed from Infopop's UBB.x as a starting point)
Database Altered: n/a
Info/Instructions: Caveats - I had some trouble with my time and getting the scrolling of the category/forum menu working so for now, I just left that part out... if you have a LONG list of categories and forums, you will need to scroll the page yourself when you popup that menu. If I can find some more time I will try to hammer that last detail out more thoroughly...
