coppermine bridged with smf can't log into coppermine.

[sedativechunk]

I have the latest upgraded versions of coppermine and simple machines forum. I wanted to put them under one login system, so I tried out the bridging procedure. Everything was bridged correctly and is working, but now what do I do? It seems like I've missed a step.
I hit "login" on my photo gallery and it takes me to the login to the simple machines forums. I log into the forums and I go to my coppermines location and it says I'm not logged in. I hit login and I'm already logged in on my administrator account on SMF. Now I'm stuck. Whats the point of putting these under one login system? Why can't I adminstrate my coppermine, or how can I, when they are combined like so, and theres no special features about it in the SMF?
I apologize if someone else posted this, but I looked around in the forums here and at SMF's support forums and couldn't find the right answer. Also, I only combined coppermine with the SMF. I DID NOT combine the 2 with joomla or mambo or any other programs.
For reference, the location of my coppermine and forums:
My coppermine
My forums
In case anything has went or goes wrong, I have backed up the databases to both programs.

don't send me this, man! I was hoping I would have a reply for now! I gave all the necassary info needed, and how can me or anyone log into my test account for coppermine gallery when its going to the SMF?? I know there are other people for this problem and I know someone has to have  a solution.
Does anyone have a real answer for me?
The only thing I didn't put what the bridging information. I used the link http://www.sedativechunk.com/forums and for the bb thing I put ../forums/.
Now can I please have some help before I am forced to shut down the bridge because this is making me lose visitors?

Post a test account. I can't troubleshoot login issues without one. Since you are bridged, the test account would be created in SMF. I will give you a real answer if you give me the info I need to investigate your issue.

I made a test account in SMF bridged with coppermine.

username: test
password: test

I think the logins combined is a cool feature, but not if I can't use coppermine with it! Please help

I get randomly switched between sedativechunk.kumitekid.com and sedativechunk.com when browsing your site. Use one or the other, not both.
