when I visit my forum, somehow it appends www in front of the url. Which I don't want and need to fix.

When you visit the forum at http://misguidedthoughts.com/forum it'll append the www. But when you click any internal link in the forum, it doesn't have it.

This wouldn't be a problem except for logging in.

So what can I do? Change the cookie? Anything in the database to change? (And all my settings in the board settings page don't have the www)

It's the configuration with your server. If you go here: http://misguidedthoughts.com/forum/ (note the slash at the end), the server will not redirect you to your site with www.

now that's a neat little trick.

Thanks!

and since we're on the subject, do you (you being anyone) know a handy .htaccess rewrite rule I can use to make sure the www never comes up?

~silverwing

add this to your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^misguidedthoughts.com/forum$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.misguidedthoughts.com/forum/ [R=301,L]
