Hi,
if you enable modules cache (normal) when you go to the forum index as anonymous you will not see new topics, but if you login it does.

Disabling modules cache into drupal the forum index page shows as expected.

I noticed also some css issues when cache is enabled and user is anonymous but this needs further investigation.

tnx

Since we have not narrowed down the issue I might as well put in some more question.

Do you have page cache running as well? I believe this might have more to do with page caching and the way a user login.

Sorry, you're right. What I have enabled is "Page Cache".
With "Page Cache" Normal you will see the problem. But this is not related on user login because it happens only for anonymous users.

This is a similar problem we discussed about here http://drupal.org/node/333198

It is for different version, but same idea you might want to take a look.

The reason page cache will prevent Anonymous from seeing new topic is because they usually have a minimum cache time, so, for another word, if you set it to an hour, anonymous might see update delayed by an hours

And I'm assuming you are running Drupal + phpbb3 integration in embedded mode, otherwise Drupal page cache should not cache phpbb3's pages.

The only real way to solves it is to lower the minimum cache time or download additional page cache module to prevent certain page from being cached. Since page cache will cache the -entire- page. You can not get around it with any module that doesn't effect page cache itself.
