Should I redirect all non-www URLs to www URLs using the method in this thread before I install zero dupe mod, or does zero dupe mod do this automatically?

These two are independent.

The zero dupe won't redirect the www prefix just because this can be handled with the .htaccess, which is a lot lighter in this case.

The .htaccess redirection is performed even before any php file was hit.

So yes, you'll need both Wink

Actually, everybody should install the zero duplicate, running a duplicate free phpBB forum is without doubt one of the greatest SEO enhancement ever, really.

One day, Google will give phpBB SEO a medal for it Laughing

, because this is saving a lot of crawling resources and helps out SEs a lot to analyse a web site. And this will for sure helps out for your SERPS.

As is phpBB is outputting over 20 dupes per topic, this is how much this mods helps Wink
