Hi everyone! Right now because of the PHP 8 deadline in less than a full business week, tech is unable to tackle all but the most pressing bugs immediately.
To be up front all of you, I know how super annoying this specific problem is, because I also use breadcrumbs a lot, but it's looking like it will be fixed after Thanksgiving, unfortunately.
The workarounds I've been using have been the "Back to Subforum" button at the bottom of the page and the forum jump menu (also at the bottom of the page). I know these are not perfect, but I'm hoping it makes life a little easier.

Top-Level Forum Navigation Has Once Again Gone Missing.
The ability to go back to the top level of a forum from the upper left corner of the page has gone missing - again. You now have to click multiple times in other areas to back to the top of the forum you are reading.
Is there a reason for this that I have missed?
Thanks.

Gee, thanks.
I started a new thread on this topic because seeing a thread titled "breadcrumbs" didn't strike me as being about the same topic. My thread was subsequently merged into this one.

Just wanting to add myself to the list of people who are missing these links and am happy to see here that work is being done to return the links!

I didn't even know this sub-forum existed until I started looking around for a solution (I rarely come out the BA sub-forum 
).
macOS and Chrome user here if it helps.

Your welcome. Not seeing your post before it was moved gave no indication you were aware of the navigation issue. Not sure I would call the issue 'breadcrumbs' myself but I'm not up on website design and such.

Good point and I added to the title. I, myself, didn't know that breadcrumbs meant this very annoying issue.

My apologies. I realize that not everyone is familiar with certain web design lingo. But I honestly dont know what else to call them and hoped (apparently correctly) that the IB tech wonks would know what Im referring to.

IBJoel and his team knew and understood - and, given the wikipedia reference, many others do too.

Then you'll know all about the deadlines tech teams are under and how shortstaffed their teams typically are. Right now because of the PHP 8 deadline in less than a full business week, I'm having to QA a lot of stuff (I didn't do it for this site) in our department's portfolio and my experience is in marketing and social media.
