I have drupal 5.5 and phpBB 3 both installed following the instructions perfectly, and for the most part it seems to be working well. However, two issues are perplexing me. 1. after a user logs in through drupal, now they are unable to access 'my account' to update their profile. When I disable the pbpBB module, they can access it with no problems. and 2. The private messages link doesn't work.

You can see the problems if you go to my site "www.undeadresistance.com and log in using "test" for both the username and password.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. My site is very barebones right now, but I would like to get the functionality down before I proceed with the content.

It's designed that way, read the foreword of the instructions.

Sorry, that sounded harsh, which was not the intention. It's 4 am and I am in a hurry to get to bed ;)

Oh no problem, it wasn't harsh at all. I'm just a bit unclear as to what to do next and the Foreword didn't seem to specifically address my issues. The 'my account' link is locked, and the private messages is unavailable. One solution I could think of is to create a new menu so the 'my account' and 'private messages' links do not appear. Before I try that, I was wondering if there were any work-arounds or redirects that I can set up.

Right now users can't change their password at all. The 'my account' link doesn't work at all, and updating it through phpBB's control panel doesn't sync with drupal. I thought I did everything right, but I guess I didn't.

hm, what do you mean locked?

When you view a profile (as a regular user, Drupal superadmin is special) it should redirect you to the corresponding profile in phpBB. The private message link should got to your inbox.

Maybe you've got the absolute path in modules/phpbb/configuration.inc wrong?

I've decided to go with php-fusion for my site. Thanks anyway!
