Old Styles Topics - How Do I Split Breadcrumb Links RC1

We appear to have "Nested" links in breadcrumbs_main.tpl {BREADCRUMBS_LINKS_RIGHT} rather than a chain of individual links.

So how do we split them into single url's ? Because if one adds a Nav Menu to the theme - one doesn't usually need or want the "text" strings where they are ? Except maybe "Mark all Forums Read", and / or "Mark all Topics Read".

I could probably dig it out, but the point is - for creating extreme themes, it's just another obstacle that has to be overcome when it could be made a lot easier.

And an example of what I'm talking about is here >> http://www.lopalong.com/forum/forum.php - Where I have been stuffing around with "Pearl Black Special"

Thanks spydie, but it's not finished - and it wont look like that when it is.

Re the 80%, yes and no.

It uses sprites for the background - so it has to be a pre-set fixed width, but it does use the editor adjustments as posted in the "how to reduce to 80%" thread.

Unfortunately at the moment we cannot split breadcrumbs links... but I believe that almost all links have already been created and you just need to put them where you need them.

You can refer to IP 027 to check the old links vars and try to interact with them.

Thanks MG,

I had a look at the v27 strings for the old breadcrumbs, but maybe I'm being too fussy about what could be more flexible, and need to stick with the new params the best one can.
