 * Thank you for documenting this. I agree with you that changing the structure 
   isn’t an ideal solution.
 * My biggest concern is if your site has been up for a while you will be destroying
   any page ranking you may have. Basically search engines will see these as new
   pages (at least from my experience). This has been a known problem since 2.5.0
   and I am bummed to see that it doesn’t appear to be on the 2.6.1 release. That
   means that it will be several more months before it gets corrected.
 * In 2.5 there was a hack around it but I haven’t seen anything for the last two
   versions. I tried raising the status of the bug but it just got reset.
 * As a PHP hobbiest I tried to determine the solution myself but unfortunately 
   the rewrite section is above my skill level.
 * If anyone can shed some light and expidite a solution please let me know how.
 * Thanks.

 * I believe I am having the same problem. I upgraded from 2.3.x and everything 
   was fine (at least to my knowledge). I use /blog/%postname%/ permalink structure.
   Everything seems to work except “next_posts_link” and “previous_posts_link”
 * Any ideas around this would be great.

 * I am having a similar problem. I have set the permalink to be /blog/%postname%/
   and now my Next/Previous post links do not work. I am using the standard “next_posts_link(‘«
   Older Entries’)”
 * Any ideas would be of great help.
