When viewing a forum or sub-forum, it really bothered me to see the name of the forum I was in repeated twice in the breadcrumb - first as a link, second as plain text. Instinctively, whenever I wanted to go up one level (the mouse-click equivalent of 'cd ..') I would always click on the second last segment in the breadcrumb, but when you had a breadcrumb that looked like: site >> Forums >> Foo >> Foo you'd wind up in the same forum again. This reeeeaallly annoyed me, so here's a little mod that removes the redundant forum name from the breadcrumb. In libs/ubbthreads.inc.php, find: if ($inputTitle) {
$breadcrumb .= " » $inputTitle";
}and change to: if ($inputTitle != $forum_title) {
$breadcrumb .= " » $inputTitle";
}So now, when viewing a forum, you get: site >> Forums >> Fooand when viewing a thread, you get: site >> Forums >> Foo >> Thread Title as it should be!

The above mod leaves the last unit on the Forum Summary as a redundant link to the current page. So I changed the line before the above change by enclosing it within an if ... } Original: $breadcrumb .= " » <a href=....
if ($inputTitle) { Revised: if ($inputTitle != $forum_title) {
$breadcrumb .= " » <a href=....
}
if ($inputTitle) {So now, when viewing a forum summary, I get: site >> Forums >> Cat >> ForumName I don't think the change affects the breadcrumb text on the thread-view page.

To be honest I prefer the link to the current forum - I can click on it to refresh the forum and see if there are any new posts

Hmmmm, curious and interesting... I've always used the browser's refresh button. Since most sites don't have any type of refresh-specific link, I have gotten quite used to using the browser's button.
