Slightly related, but I've noticed that when people link things here in the forums it can cause you to appear logged out due to the type of link which can result in several pop-ups.
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]

Great! It's not just me! I was about to start a thread Sunday about this, but figured maybe I had clicked something by accident or was just losing my mind. So, +1 to the random ebay page.
For a while I thought it was some Malware that found it's way onto my desktop but after running every program I could think of it came up clean-but since it was a normal EBay page-the first one was an antique train set and the other one was something equally harmless it had to be an issue with Guru.
Not really harmful, but kinda annoying.

Nope Cass, I welcome all comments. But those that involve general comments on how someone thinks internet advertising works or the benefits that someone thinks we may or may not receive don't really contribute. If you've read through the thread there are clearly other comments that are negative we have not deleted. Suffice it to say that the ads are needed. I'll repeat again, we don't have a big backer like IGN, or IncGamers or other such fansites that have corporations behind them to pay our bills. We could certainly force more intrusive advertisements on you like some sites have. Or just keep pop-ups on for all users regardless. But we have tried to find a happy medium and it's working.
They are annoying but I can tell you I've tested it extensively. It's 2 pop-ups while logging in. That's it. Once you are logged in, no pop-ups. Besides the rogue ad that we try to take care of right away.
