Reported by @CaptainH00K:

The Ninjaboard quickpanel seems to be doing breadcrumbs correctly (as expected), but creating menu links to the pages does not.

**How to reproduce**

• Navigate to one of the extra views from a created menu item link eg profile/watches/pms.

**Expected result**

• The breadcrumbs show "forums" or "forum" as top level link, then whatever view you selected eg: profile. So if you navigate back to forum through the breadcrumbs, profile disappears from the breadcrumbs.

**Actual result**

• The selected view is top level link, then forums, then the whatever else for eg "user settings".

If you navigate to forums from the breadcrumbs like this, profile is still in the breadcrumbs while viewing the forums.

> Additional info i posted into Skype that may help:

> "What happens is when you create a menu link/item it has an id, and when that id is different to the menu id of the forum, you get the breadcrumbs issue.

> Say on my site, forum menu id is 75 so urls to the forum are like: index.php?option=com_ninjaboard&view=forums&Itemid=75

> But make a menu link to watches or PM's or your forum profile and you might have: index.php?option=com_ninjaboard&view=watches&Itemid=119

> And then the breadcrumbs get "confused" (as far as the user is concerned)

> if i change that url to: index.php?option=com_ninjaboard&view=watches&Itemid=75

> so that itemid matches the forum menu id, the breadcrumbs are correct.

> Using the quickpanel, links (URLS) have the same itemid as your forum if you're viewing the forum component, otherwise they have none and will default to the forum menu id so breadcrumbs work correct. (but they WILL take on the itemid of say 119 if i follow a menu link to a different forum view, then use a link in quickpanel :P "
