As odd as it may sound, has anything changed from your hosting providers point of view? I noticed that my CMPS and chat get's a tad odd when the www isn't there...

Considering a forced redirect to insure the url is what I want...

You can (and should - to prevent "duplicate" content) redirect all URLs without www to www or vice-versa. Google will show you methods of which to do this.

You can do it via htaccess, can't you?

Yep.

I thought so as that is how I am doing it. The question was rhetorical, bi the way.

/me goes to look up rhetorical.

Your question wasn't really written rhetorically (to me anyway) :p.

You didn't see the expression I was using when I wrote it? :p
