I am using SharePoint 2010 at the moment.

For some stupid reason when I create a sub-site and I am inside that sub-site the breadcrumb does not show the parent site.

It stops at the current site level.....errrr

Can this be modified/changed?

In SharePoint 2007 this was no issue!

Thanks in advanced!

what site type? is the parent a SPSite and the child SPWeb or SPSite? have you enabled the portal connection in site settings? – djeeg Apr 19 '11 at 12:34
Both plain SharePoint Sites, what portal connection you talking about? – Etienne Apr 19 '11 at 13:17

Found the answer.......

I replaced

<SharePoint:SPLinkButton runat="server" NavigateUrl="~site/" id="onetidProjectPropertyTitle"><SharePoint:ProjectProperty Property="Title" runat="server" /></SharePoint:SPLinkButton>

With

<asp:SiteMapPath
     runat="server"
     SiteMapProviders="SPSiteMapProvider,SPXmlContentMapProvider"
     RenderCurrentNodeAsLink="false"
     NodeStyle-CssClass="breadcrumbNode"
     CurrentNodeStyle-CssClass="breadcrumbCurrentNode"
     RootNodeStyle-CssClass="breadcrumbRootNode"
     HideInteriorRootNodes="true"
     SkipLinkText=""/>

In my MasterPage....... I got this from the NightandDay.Master Masterpage!

It's not the navigation that's the problem, the problem is the breadcrumb does not show the parent site. – Etienne Apr 19 '11 at 13:10
you know that the breadcrumb is now that little folder with the arrow right ? (next to site actions) – Renzo Apr 19 '11 at 14:05
yes I know of that, but the V4.master Masterpage also have one next to the banner.....have a look....that's the one I am talking about. – Etienne Apr 21 '11 at 6:19

Go to Site Settings and then Look and Feel --> Top link bar. You can then set it to "Use Links from Parent". This will add the parent site to the link bar after the fact. You can also set it when creating the site as Renzo says.

There is no Top link bar under my Look and Feel section..... – Etienne Apr 19 '11 at 12:50

If Top Link bar isn't listed, then it sounds as if the publishing features are enabled, so you'd want to look for the Navigation link in the Look and Feel section. – PirateEric Apr 19 '11 at 12:55
That is correct, it does have Navigation, and it does use the navigation from the parent site, but it does not show the parent site in the actual breadcrumb. – Etienne Apr 19 '11 at 13:08
