I've not experienced this problem with CB sites before (this particular one is Joomla 1.0), so I was hoping for a sanity check.
The site owner has been "cleaning up" the site during my setup; some of these changes have included moving and rdeleting menu items. During these changes, I started experiencing a problem with all links from other components to comprofiler - instead of displaying the module settings for the comprofiler menu item, I get all of the modules for the home page (Itemid 0), as if the Itemid has been lost. This occurs even for components I consider rather CB friendly such as Fireboard or PonyGallery.
I'm now manually setting an Itemid for all of these links in each component, but I don't recall ever having run into this behavior before.
Am I just nuts and profile links typically get the home page settings or did something go wrong during the site owners "cleanup" that could have caused this?
