Main Menu

"Home" at upper middle isn't consistent. Goes to different webpages.

The "Home" button / menu item at the upper right (#1 label in attachment):
Home Community Download Customize .... Development"

links to a different webpage than clicking on the "Site Logo" at the upper left (#2) and the "Home" button / menu item (#3) on the left:
Home Help Search Profile .... Logout

The #1 Home buttom/menu item seems more closely associated with "About", and could perhaps be merged. My 2¢ worth.

This is non-standard to have two buttons/menu-items with the label "Home" going to different webpages, and violates the GUI prinicpal of "least astonishment".

the top home button is to the sites homepage, other others are the forum home page. which is the only way to find our way back to the site homepage.

As indicated - the two different links in the different menus are correct.
(and no, the top "home" is not "about", it's the basic homepage/splashpage of the simplemachines.org site.
