It's not working properly.  I completed the bridging process with no difficulties.  I'm running SMF and CPG 1.3.2.  The bridging seemed to go exactly as described and when I clicked on "Groups" all of my forum groups were there.  The problem is that each time one of my forum members who hadn't already registered in Gallery before the switch tries to do anything other than look at the thumbnails, they get an error message telling them they must first register.  The last person to report this was my Global Moderator!  Those members who registered in the Gallery prior to the change are having a few small difficulties, as well, but they're still able to view and upload.  Does anyone have any suggestions for how to correct this?  If not, how do I undo the bridging?  The docs mention undoing but don't tell you how.

Just comment out the bridge line in init.inc.php to turn off bridging.  Please post a link to your site and create a normal user and post the login name/pass here.
Do not send me a private message unless I ask for one.  Make your post public so everyone can benefit.

Thanks.  I did that.  My site is http://www.scrapbookingresourcecenter.com and I've created user accounts in both my forum and gallery called "test" with a password of "test".  Interestingly, when I turned off bridging, the user groups created by bridging were still there.  Kinda cool.

On another note, after I "un-bridged," all the existing users became "Global Moderators" and I can't change it.  Even the new members are showing up as GMs.

doesn't sound plausible. Are you sure you had the installs bridged in the first place? To find out about details, use a tool like phpMyAdmin that let's you access the database directly. Take a look into coppermine's user and usergroups tables.

Are you referring to the "Global Moderator" issue or the original problem?  I figured out the GM problem.  It was the drop-down - it was defaulting to GM and that wasn't changed when I unchecked it and checked another group.  I used the drop-down to select a new group and it was fixed.

The original problem remains, so I'm still running them independently.

OK, I had a look into this and I can confirm this issue partly: after removing bridging the group labels have changed (only the labels, but not the permissions). However, you should be able to change those lable back to how they were in groups settings. I'm looking into this some more to come up with some code to fix this permanently.
