Hello,
I'm wondering if it would be difficult to move an existing phpbb system from phpbbforum to this module?
I already have several users and a lot of content so starting over is not an option at the moment.
Would it be difficult and most importantly, would it work?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Wayne

Sorry not a real answer
I'm starting a new site with phpbb in days, I'm now using phpbb module it works quie well, but still I wanted to try phpbbforum, it seems more feature rich, why are you migrating to phpbb?
Regarding your problem I think it should work, your user id sequence should be well over the usual systems user id in phpbb....

there is a very annoying
there is a very annoying problem. no matter what forum page you are on, it does not display the address in the address bar.... (phpbbforum)
Frame issue? Is your problem
Frame issue?
Is your problem caused by the frame that the module uses?
Here is the frame and non frame version,
http://vgb.net.ru/phpbbforum
http://vgb.net.ru/phpbb/index.php
If so you can use the forum not inside the frame.
Like http://drupal.i1media.no/forum/ , by adding your custom header and footer to the phpbb template
You can use the frame with this module allso and you will have the same issue.
The integration ,like gallery2 its not yet implemented by any of the 2 modules yet.
yes it is inside a frame,
yes it is inside a frame, and it needs to be inside a frame and no, the address doesn't appear when it is inside a frame.
how hard is it to add a custom header and footer to the phpbb template?
thanks for the help :D

It's not hard, but I don't
It's not hard, but I don't have any detailed instructions.
If you use prosilver as your starting point, there are overall header and overall footer templates. By starting a table or div in overall header , and closing it in overall footer, you can wrap the forum inside and place
In the past I've themed Drupal, then looked at the source to cutnpaste the header and footer into the mentioned template files.
You can always google for it
Here is an example,

And some menus if you want something simpler.

Works good but one small issue
Hello,
The module works very well, however I have one small issue. Apparently, when i go to links from the block it does not return a page. This is due to the URL missing part of the path, example (localhost/phpbb instead of localhost/testsite/phpbb). I know this has got to be a simple fix. Please let me know! Thanks.

I'm guessing you need to
I'm guessing you need to revisit the absolute path in the configuration file that comes with the module?
Looking at it, the path
Looking at it, the path seems correct. Everythinig works fine minus the path links for the path to the forum... Is there anywhere else to change this minus the phpbbforum settings under site configurations?

Drupal6 users use phpBBforum?
http://drupal.org/project/phpbbforum
To me it would seem alot easier to use phpBBforum Integration module instead of this one, since it has direct support for Durpal6 and phpBB3 integration. Simply install and use.
These two projects seem quite similiar and both are active, ever thought of simply joining up with the efforts?
(I have no opinion regarding
(I have no opinion regarding which one you should use.) Last time I checked the two modules were very different under the hood. I think that we intentionally try to achieve different things, so merging the projects doesn't make much sense.
OK, that's interesting...
OK, that's interesting... It's hard for me to imagine that those two modules are trying to achieve different things.
What is, in your opinion, the difference between the goals of phpbb.module and phpbbforum.module? Are those goals just different, or fundamentally incompatible?
