The 'Home' tag in the breadcrumbs in my theme now goes to where I already am, a fairly pointless non-trip.

I would expect a high-level "home", and I think it did that until recently?

Smells like an oversight/typo in the navigation. In fact it seems to do what the now-blank thread-title crumb 'should' do?

First time i clicked home it went to the home page. The next time (and subsequent) it just brought me back where i was. Seems it does not have the same kind of link as the others.

If i copy the link and paste into a new tab i get the word home, and it takes me to google.

I noticed some time ago. I'm so old school, I automatically (w/o a second thought) just highlight everything in the url past diyaudio.com/ and hit the Backspace key, then enter.

Aim, click, swipe, delete, enter - brings me home every time. Not as nice as a properly functional button though. Buttons that link to functions...I'll pull my head out of the 1980's "command line" mentality someday.

Ha! I just did it again...

I also came to report this fault. Home should just take you to www.diyaudio.com, instead it just reloads the current page you are viewing
I have found the missing link. Every page, "Breadcrumbs" section, the href for "Home" is "", i.e. null. The browser's response may be undefined? Most fall back to "Here". Which is UNEXPECTED when a surfer asks to go "Home".


OK, put something in there, but what? There really is no single "home page". community/forums/-/list ? community/ ? Which goes to the meta-question "Where is Home now?"
