Hi - when adding a forum topic, or when adding/editing a forum comment the breadcrumb trail is lost. Can this module be used to keep the trail when trying to do these actions? thanks.

If you have created a node-type custom breadcrumb for forum topic, then the breadcrumb trail is preserved when adding or editing a comment. Right now the custom breadcrumb is not set when editing a node, but this could be done as a new feature.

The problem with trying to supply a custom breadcrumb when adding a node is that the node object is not yet formed (obviously). So node-type tokens won't work, and the breadcrumb often wouldn't be what you expect if you use tokens, and most users do.

I will make the change to set the breadcrumb on node edit.
EDIT:
Sorry. I just realized why this hasn't been done. Its possible that nodes could have several breadcrumbs depending on language, breadcrumb visibility, and/or custom breadcrumbs defined by more than one module. When editing a node, its not clear how to determine which breadcrumb should be displayed and I don't think its worth the effort/code that would be required to do it correctly.
