Also add a warning on the dashboard if it does not appear to match.

We can easily generate this from the URL via a helper function. We can allow someone to reassign it to a permanent value if they need to (by overriding the function). Keeping US as portable as possible I would suggest is ideal.

We can do some research on that, but a lot of the $_SERVER variables are vulnerable to XSS/Spoofing type attacks, so while they're nice for logging and convenience, relying on them for redirects and things like that has security implications. I totally agree on the portability though. That's one of my favorite things about US. Maybe even a hybrid approach where we point out on the dashboard that the server has detected a url change? Idk. This is more complicated than it seems at first glance.
