This is something I've noticed for a long time, but have never been bothered enough to comment on (biggrin). Why are there two seperate addresses to access the forums from? I've noticed that I'll occasionally open a thread and find it to be a .co.uk address, which shows me as not logged in (I always log in to the .com site). It doesn't seem to make any difference to the content because you can change the url from one to the other without any difference except the cookies.

So why are there two URL's?

There are several URLs which all point to the same place, we are gradually turning some of them into redirects, but we will always keep a few for proxy avoidance...
