Breadcrumbs [Top-Level Forum Navigation Has Once Again Gone Missing]
 

Yesterday it looked like this...

... and the item after each > was 'clickable' allowing one to navigate up one or more levels.

Now it looks like this...

without the > figure between each level and the levels are not clickable.

Seen on both iPad and two MacBooks running multiple versions of OS and Safari.

ETA: Similar behavior in Firefox.

Same.

Windows laptop running Chrome.

Same

MacOS running Chrome


Another great bit of testing...

Seen on MacOS Safari/Chrome/Firefox.

same here - very annoying change

A mod brought this up this morning as well and we are working on fixing it. It was not intentional

Yes … aggravating!

Exactly.

Same same across the board while on Edge and Firefox.

Bad bad.

iPhone Safari also :(

full disclosure — I’m not a software guy, but I’ve been in and around systems engineering and test for a very long time

​​​​​it seems that a big part of of these <recurring> problems is that, while test protocols don’t *intentionally* overlook use cases, they’re apparently not reviewed for completeness

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.

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.

Thanks for the progress report and the suggested workarounds.

No bread pudding this Thanksgiving, but at least the emojis are back. :)

Same; clearly a bug.. driving me nuts!

Same on MacOS. Not my favorite.

I came here a bit wary about entering a Techno-Lions den! However I came about this specific problem which seemed to occur a couple of days ago, and it is such a bore. I found that it did the same on my Ipad. I use Firefox on my desktop as a rule as I find Edge clunky but on all these browsers, this occurred. Frankly, now I know that it is a known issue, I feel more comfortable. I had never ever heard the expression Breadcrumbs so I have learned something,
