Extension:BreadCrumbs (Kimon)

Description
Shows a list of visited pages during the user's session. Very useful when you want to know how you arrived wherever you are.

If the page being visited is already on the list, then the list does not grow (no dupes) and if it were a prior page, the list shrinks.

Also, a new user preference is created to allow users to optionally have this feature enabled to them. The new T/F flag is added to the "Misc." tab of the user preferences.

The line with the links is placed at the bottom of the page but, all formatting options can be easily modified by editing the accompanying CSS.

See the bottom of this page for a sample
