To get past the website blocker at work I've been browsing pistonheads for years without the www. at the start of the url. Now it seems whatever I do the www. is re-appearing; is it something PH have changed or an issue my end?

It's also stopping me using the classifieds, I used to use the above method, or change the .com to .co.uk(which still works on the forum); but there's no option to do that on the classifieds - mental really that we block it at work as we advertise our stock on there!! hehe

Looks like they've put a redirect on it, probably an SEO thing.

Use one of the alternative domain names to get around the blocker.

Correct.
We are slaves to the master that is SEO.

So in an effort to reduce our duplicated content we've put redirects on pistonheads.com and classifieds.pistonheads.com and directed them to www.pistonheads.com and www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars respectively.
