Bug: Default home page links to itself

Anything is up for discussion–just as there are no stupid questions, there are no stupid suggestions.

If the original post had been phrased as the request for an extra feature which it in fact is, rather than as a ‘report’ of a non-existent bug, it might not have met with quite so many accusations of stupidity.

@ntu,
Well, you’ve no doubt read one or two of my “<slaps forehead>” posts, so consider yourself to have company! <big grin>
Craig.

Matt, other examples include permalinks on article pages, a site’s privacy policy, accessibility statement, copyright notice etc, as well as any section navigation (e.g. “About”, “Archives”, Contact”) on individual Weblogs. As usual, doing the right thing is hard and doing the wrong thing is easy (which is why so many Web sites have this problem), so a general function to make context-sensitive links easier would save a lot of grief (for readers, not for the people implementing it).
notthatugly, if I want a link that doesn’t do anything, I’ll go to a site constructed for exactly that purpose. ?? I don’t see why every Weblog should have one by default. (Riddle for today: If removing a non-functional link counts as a “feature”, does that mean having a non-functional link counts as lacking a feature?)

Ahhh, but it IS a functional link. It functions as a refresh for the page if you happen to be on the page already – and that’s exactly what I use it for (my page title is a much bigger mouse target than the tiny little refresh button on my toolbar :P)

Subtract the dirname of PHP_SELF from the ABSPATH and compare that to REQUEST_URI.

That sounds like something I was trying to do before but I’m code-retarded… Could anyone post a sample code for this? Thanks ??

mpt – you know instead of whining about it, why don’t you offer a solution. If you don’t like the way it is, change it. That’s the beauty of OSS…. you can crack open the software and make changes as you want.
As for semantics, it is neither a bug (the software isn’t broken) nor is it a feature. It would be an enhancement.
