I have the following issue when trying to bridge coppermine and phpBB version 2.0.13.
This issue only occurs when using Firefox; Internet Explorer is not affected. When a user reaches the site and logs in, they have to either login a second time or click the 'Gallery' button, and then click the 'Forum' button to get logged in. I'm not sure if this is an issue with Coppermine or with phpBB, or if its just something with Firefox.

Coppermine install: http://www.sabermonk.com/cpgDOW/
Forum install: http://www.sabermonk.com/astoriadow/
Coppermine version: cpg 1.4.2
Forum version: phpBB version 2.0.13
Test user account: name: tester  password: tester

BridgeManager settings:
Forum URL:  http://www.sabermonk.com/astoriadow
Relative path to your BBS's config file:  ../cpgDOW/
Use post-based groups?:  No (is 0 yes or no?)

Change the cookie domain to .sabermonk.com in your forum's config.

Well, that fixed part of it. Now, you can log in just fine, but you can't logout normally. I was able to click logout (on the forum) 10 times with no success. However, if I go to the gallery and click logout, THEN click the 'Forum' button, I'm logged out (but only if you go back to the forum). Any idea why it might be doing that? Should I check the cookie in CPG too?

Ah, very good. After clearing the cookies it works fine. Issue resolved.
