To Webmaster - I appear to be trapped in Discussion Board

Hello,

Recently (in the past couple of days) when I enter
the Discussion Board I cannot seem to bactrack.
The Go to Homepage link normally at the bottom of the page is no longer there???

And another thing
I also cannot seem to backtrack to the home page using the BACK button. I just loop around the discussion board.
Is this by accident (on my part) or by design (Codeguru's page author)????
Very fustrating!

Andy
