What can you do to stop phpbb forums from keep adding the http part to website address's please?

Any posts I write in Arial are on my mobile phone, so please excuse typos etc.
Any posts I write in Verdana are on a PC, so feel free to berate me mercilessly for any mistakes





It's when you type in the website address www.anyoldwebsiteaddress.com and somehow it changes to http.www.anyoldwebsiteaddress.com - how is that stopped please?

I think it has to do with the way that forum codes things, probably in their .htaccess if not in their php backend. That forum is the best place to get your question answered. Have you asked their support why they do it and how and if it can be changed?
