Unfortunately I can't search for this answer because the forums are telling me I need 4 letters minimum.

I want to force the www to be written into the URL address. I don't know if this is controlled in the admin or with .htaccess, but I want the "www" to be present in the address bar at all times. Currently, my forums will work if I go to the example.com or www.example.com versions of the domain (which is a not-so-good thing). When somebody goes to the example.com version, I want it rewritten to www.example.com.

Yeah you need to use htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

You forgot the first "R". Corrected code is below:

Thanks, folks. That did it.
