Get rid of these darn popups. I am getting sick and tired of trying to log in, but everytime a popup comes up, I have to close it, and click back into the textbox to keep typing, because the popup interupts the typing, so I have to click back in to the box every single time a popup coms up. It takes like 10x longer to log in then it should.

This is so rediculous.

Ads pay for this site, or you can become a paying member and get rid of the ads.

And that time was filled with much pain and sorrow, for the server was slower constantly for everyone, and it gave white screens of death intermittently.

In any case, for this particular problem, a subscription wouldn't help, since not being logged in will get you pop-ups either way.

If you're using a computer that clears cookies automatically, such as many public computers (I know my university ones wipe everything after logging out), or for whatever other reason, you can't use the "remember me" option to remain logged in, you're just out of luck, unfortunately.
The ads are heaviest for people logged out so that the ads for people logged in can be lighter. Please try to bear that in mind through the frustration. The servers have to be paid for either way, and the alternative would be increasing the ads for logged in viewers.

Example: I use www.guildwarsguru.com since that's how I found the forum.
Someone links to another post that is simply guildwarsguru.com without the www subdomain. This then causes the user to appear logged out and is actually rather annoying because of the ads that will appear.

Inde, would it be possible to convert this website to a Class B?

Class B means that all of the traffic to http://www.example.com is politely and silently redirected to http://example.com. This is currently the preferred no-www classification as it does not inconvenience your users, but it does assert the deprecated nature of the www subdomain.
The process of making your domain a Class B is quite simple. All you need to do is create or modify a file called .htaccess located in the root directory of your site and add the following lines.

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.guildwarsguru\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://guildwarsguru.com/$1 [R=301,L]
More can be learned about it here:

Any word on the implementation of this, Inde?
