Could Diigo treat www.*.com and *.com as the same site? - 23 views

    Sometimes people use link *.com for short and the site redirects them to www.*.com, then there will be no issue. However, in other sites (most sites are in this case), both the page with and without www are accepted, and the same page content is given. If I make some highlights on the page when I use address without 'www', but the next time with it, the hightlights will not shown. Or vice verse. So to see those highlights, I have to type the address without the prefix again.

    The most terrible thing is when I left some trace on both of the pages with and without 'www' prefix, and I have no way smart to merge them together. I only have to re-do the highlight/ comments on other page again.

    Could Diigo treat www.*.com and *.com as the same link? It do will convenient people.

    However, one problem needs notice is that for some sites, *.com and www.*.com are completely different page. Hope you can find a way to make a perfect solution.

    Thank you!

    I agree.

    I think that it would be very practical for us if Diigo would treat the subdomain www as the same as for the domain without that prefix, even if there are some rare cases where those are actually different sites.

    Hopefully, we could have a way to specify which sites should _not_ follow the rule, but the rule should be that diigo's lists merge them so they appear as the same.
