I noticed that omnimaga.org used to redirect to www.omnimaga.org, but no longer. Should that be added back in?

I think it should be added back.

Same here, unless there's some reason for having them separate?
I've noticed that sometimes, google searches and/or links send you to omnimaga sans www, where it sees you as a guest. :/

That's because the cookie path isn't .omnimaga.org

From what I heard I don't think it's possible anymore, but I could be wrong. Maybe it needs extra config.

It would be nice, since I keep getting logged out when accessing without the www (usually when someone posts a link without it).

At least however it's not as bad as websites that don't work at all without www. X.x

Yeah, I hate those x.x There are so many websites (http://nato.int/) out there that are otherwise very well built, but when you try accessing them without the www. it's like the entire domain just doesn't exist :P

Yeah I was scared a lot before with some sites, thinking they shut down or hard major server issues. Eg my favorite minor league hockey team site until this season and Cemetech back in 2009.

Well, if I assume the virtual hosts are setup like I do, it's pretty simple to change it. As in, /var/www/omnimaga.org should only contain a index.php with a header("Location: http://www.omnimaga.org/"); while /var/www/www.omnimaga.org contains the forum.
