broken link back to "Album List"?

I made it thru the install process and have been giving all the options a whirl to test them out and have found one problem.

I am using the "Fruity" style.
The link on the left menu to "Album List" works from every page EXCEPT from the "My Gallery" page. If I click on the "My Gallery" link from that left menu, and then try to click on "Album List" from that left menu to get back to the main index page, it doesn't go anywhere, the page just blinks. However, if I click on "Home" (where it shows the path Home-->User Gallerys-->Colliope) it DOES take me back to the main album index. I have this problem in both user and administrator modes, and its only from "My Gallery" that the link doesn't work.

Album List link doesn't take you to the home/index page. It is the link for the album list for that particular category. I mean if you log in as admin and go to My Gallery and then click Album List, it will take you to the list of albums in the category 'admin's Gallery'. Same is true for users too.

If you have made certain categories and albums within them then try going to the thumnail page of any album within a particular category and then click 'Album List'. You will realise that the page that comes up shows you the albums within that particular category and not the home page.

From all the other pages the link "Album List" points to /Coppermine/index.php, but from the My Gallery page, it points to "/Coppermine/index.php?cat=1001, which is the same as the My Gallery page - thats why the page just blinks - its just reloading the My Gallery page when I click on it.

So I just need to find where in which file to change that one  link to point to index.php like all the others.   ???

Thanks, Abbas. Must have posted at the same time becasue your response wasn't there when I posted last. Anyway, hmm, I see what you mean, but if the meaning of that link is confusing to me, it will definiteley be confusing to my users.

If I wanted to (got to think about it for awhile), could I change that link to always take a user back to the main index.php from any page they're on?

Yes you can, but then your users wont be able to go back to the album list of a particular gallery from within the album or of that gallery. They will have to use Breadcrumb or go back to the index page and then choose the category to see the albums for that particular category.

If you want i can tell you how to change that link, but it is not recommendable.

Alternately what you can do is place a new link for 'Home' in the themes which don't have 'Home' link and change the name of 'Album List' link to whatever you think your users can understand better.
