XF 2.0 Enable board URL canonicalization

What does this mean? I don't understand the description either.

It will automatically redirect users to your board URL if they come to the site from a URL.

So say your board URL is http://yoursite.com but they visit http://www.yoursite.com then they will be redirected automatically to http://yoursite.com.

Ah I see! Thank you!

So .. also if users come from http:// he will be redirect to https:// if its enabled ? Am i right?

i think a 301 redirect from HTTP to HTTPS would make more sense so you can also reach subdomains.
Add this to your .htaccess if you use Apache.

RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L][ICODE]

I agree with you then how to force www to non www in .htaccess
