Hi I love this system and plan to use it for an online textbook I am
currently developing. I recently tested it by posting a comment to the
home page of my site with a base url like: example.com The comment shows
up just fine.

When navigating internally, however, sometimes the url becomes
example.com/index.html and there are no longer any comments listed, even
though the page is the same without the explicit /index.html.

Also here is a feature request -- a navigation button to close the
profile view and return to the comment thread would be nice -- using the
browser's back button or a page refresh is a little counter-intuitive.

I think we could have a Namespace setting to toggle treating
/path/index.html the same as /path. I'll work on this tonight.

This defect has been solved. From now on, Remarkbox will make the
following translations:

https://www.example.com/index.php -> https://www.example.com
https://www.example.com/asdf/index.html -> https://www.example.com/asdf

Both distinct URIs will be translated to the same thread.
