I've installed bbpress, but the users that log into Skinplistic WITHOUT the www are not recognized by users that log into bbpress WITH the www. I used the code above to force access via www, however; I noticed this counted multiple hit against my server (I use slimstat). Plus, I think it may be upsetting adsense and the other robots I prey for everyday. ;) I don't know what to do. I’ve tried both, but the solution has caused other problems.

Either way, great tip! Is there a reason you prefer having the "www" over the alternative? I tend to prefer the reverse (something about the URL length, I think.) Either way, great tip!
