Just a thought.......... Am i supposed to have installed the phpbb3 forum in the same directory as composr?

One thing that can cause login problems on a 3rd party forum is misconfigured cookies. The cookie integration with the 3rd party forums is rather complex, and if the Composr one takes precedence it would block phpBB's own cookies.
So I suspect clearing your cookies for the site's domain will resolve it.
I need to take a closer look at this as of course we want to avoid such problems. The cookie integration requires expert configuration to get single-login working, so I'm tempted to disable it completely by default if it causes problems like this.

The forum integrates on the user profile page but not if you goto social and press forum, the forum opens up separately.
At the moment i have only tested a few user logins, but they seem to work exceptionally well. I register users on phpbb and this seems to work well.
So its mostly an integration issue of embedding the forum. I am pretty sure it is down to something like me not understanding how to clear the menu cache.
Apart from this one small issue, it seems to be working well. We will be testing it further later in the week.

Block cache is be one of the checkboxes on there.
Might be best to just install next RC from scratch for a clean slate. Should not be long, just working on a couple of outstanding issues.

Ok so in the next RC all the forum cookies stored by Composr will have a default prefix of 'cms__'. So long as that prefix is there it will segregate from the 3rd party forum and won't try and share the same session.
That should stop interference, but still allows experts to get the integration settings correct.

Having the forum wrap inside the CMS would be the icing on the cake, but so far the rest of the testing is going so well i would live without it if i had too.
I will clean install the next RC, then deploy in the school my daughter attends as its local. They are always my test bed
.Three weeks in that class should find any weak spots lol.
