Hi
I've just created some temp accounts to test registrations, and after I've finished checking phase I've deleted these accounts from Drupal acp, but when I went to the phpbb forum I've found these users still exist and had to delete them again. Is this normal that I had to delete users twice, or there is something need to be adjusted.
Thanks

If anyone is good at writing automated tests that covers these applications I'd appreciate some help on that frfont.

Actually, it seems to be working fine. Not sure what I was looking at when reading above... I'll keep an eye out for it.

The user should show up under Administration Control Panel -> Users and Groups -> Ban usernames. This deletes all sessions and prevents him/her from logging in through phpbb/bypass, so you have time to delete the user (and decide whether to keep the content or not).
