Incorrect links in thread headers
I just noticed something that seems to be more recent than the March update.
At the top of each page in a thread is a miniature directory tree showing the thread's position in the forum hierarchy, e.g.,
This isn't the end of the world, but there are occasions when it's useful to have that link point to the first page in the thread.
FWIW, I've checked across multiple fora/threads & this seems to be widespread. Am I just imagining that it used to be different?

FlyerTalk Forums > Support&Services > Technical Support and Feedback
> Post "echoes" repeatedly appear temporarily in thread
I've noticed that the thread title doesn't link to itself (as it should, and as I'm pretty sure it used to), but instead to http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/> Post "echoes" repeatedly appear temporarily in thread

This problem still seems to be happening for me as well.
Also - is there a reason for the ellipses at the end of the thread title? For example, on this thread it says "> Incorrect links in thread headers ..." - why is the ellipses there at the end?
There is also an ellipses in each forum list, for example "> Information Desk ..."

But most obviously, this is how things used to be. Then that useful feature was removed for no apparent reason.

The software is new, and I have to assume this change was made for a reason; but I will continue to see if the end of the breadcrumb -- the thread title -- can be linked to itself.
