Anyone know how I can alter the forum so it redirects people to the www. version of the site / page?

For example;

http://myforum.com/new_topic_form.asp?FID=24 redirects to http://www.myforum.com/new_topic_form.asp?FID=24

I'd need to do it through ASP, as it's a Windows server.

Cheers!

I would do this at IIS level on the web sever rather than with ASP.

Setup a new website in IIS for myforum.com without the www. part and then have it redirect to the www.myforum.com website. If you don't select the option of an 'exact desitination' then it will also still include the path and file names when it redirects.
