If one of my existing users chooses to stay logged in to my drupal site on each visit, and they return to the site after I have implemented phpbbforum, I'm assuming they wont be automatically logged into phpBB? Do they have to then log in to phpBB (or be logged out and log back in on drupal)?

Im trying to work out what way it will work with old users that maybe haven't visited the site in a few weeks, they will return and view the site already logged in, they will see the new forum link and then maybe try to create a new post in phpBB, but they wont be logged in to phpBB. At that stage can they just enter their drupal login again? Are all existing users from drupal added as users in phpBB when the module is installed?

Apologies I am unable to find this out for myself as Im testing it on a fresh installation of both drupal and phpBB

All users will/should sync to phpbb. Usually when a user comes to site logged into drupal, there will be a system message telling them their user name is now synced to phpbb.

By chance they're not logged into phpbb, they need to use same username and password used for drupal, or it will simply say user/password not found....etc.
