Thought that I had everything installed properly, but when i log into CB and launch the wrappered PHPBB, the login isn't carried over.

Any thought on what I might have done wrong? I was pretty good (i think) about following the directions...

Is this happening for "remember me" logins? or any login?

Does the user you are logging in have a phpbb_id set in their profile? You can see this from either the admin side or the edit profile side...

Is the forum directory set correctly in Plugin Management?

Got it - i had a typo in my forum directory name...

Works like a champ now!

Thanks, btw for all of your work on this and for helping everyone out with getting this up and running. You're doing a wonderful service for the joomla/phpbb community.
