Duplicate Domain / Causes problems with logins - Since I started using the forums I noticed the site would never remember my login details - then I realised

Since I started using the forums I noticed the site would never remember my login details - then I realised my bookmark pointed to www-webprocafe-com and the login form (along with every other link on the site) pointed to webprocafe-com (not www). Obviously, this means that my login information was being saved on webprocafe.com and I had never actually logged in to www-webprocafe-com.

I know Google handles this duplicate domain issue very well but it's probably a good idea to enforce it anyway...

PS.: I have changed my bookmark so I don't have to login every time I visit the site, lol

Well yes, the www should be 301'd and redirected to the non-www.
