I made a fresh Drupal 5.7 installation and also a fresh phpbb 3.0 installation without any moduls, login etc. all worked fine, with only the 2 problems below.
The 1st problem occurs when you have forgotten your old password and want to retrieve a new one. You get the email with the link to change the password, no problem until now. But when you changed the password in the Drupal-formular and submits it you will be forwarded to the phpbb-ucp without the password-change.
This error occurs also on your page http://drupal.i1media.no.
The 2nd problem occurs with the use of the Internet-Explorer. I cant login with the IE to the phpbb, the login to Drupal works fine. I also tested it with other Browsers, the login worked with Firefox and Opera.
I tried the login using the bypass-function and it worked with the IE, perhaps there is a problem with the cookies and IE? I used IE 6 and 7 and had the same Problem.
I couldn`t reproduce this Problem on your page http://drupal.i1media.no there the IE-login worked.

Good one
Ah... good one, thanks for testing thoroughly, I'll try to return the favor:
So the problem is that I decided allowing Drupal user profiles and put that at the heart of the refactoring. Then some people asked to have the old way back (only phpBB profiles), so I tried to accommodate for that in a hurry, without thinking too much about it. But I didn't test it much, and nobody has complained, so there is nothing to handle the password-change after a reset request :(
I'll try to fix it, but really that makes the phpBB-profile-only version a bit of a nuisance, so you should set
$phpbbcfg['allow_drupal_profiles'] = true
in the configuration file and it should work like you expect.
Regarding the IE: It's probably related to interpretation of the cookie domain. Look at the cookies in IE after you log in through the bypass form, and after a regular login. Be sure to clear the cookies in between, and make sure the dialogs actually show the real stuff.
IE Problem solved
I found the solution in an older comment here http://groups.drupal.org/node/8535#comments perhaps you should mention this case in the installation-manual. But it is still strange that the problem with the IE only occurs when the bridge is installed.
For the "retrieve new password function" it should be the easiest way to use the formular from phpbb i think, but you will be redirected to drupal when you enter he phpbb-path i noticed.
No it is not strange,
No it is not strange, because the module is creating the cookies and needs to create them in the same way that phpBB does.
Using the phpBB form is not trivial.
A) I don't like the way the password retrieval in phpBB works, if you don't remember exactly how you typed your username your email address is "spent"
B) It would not notify other Drupal modules of the update
If you have a patch that uses phpBB and notifies other Drupal modules it would be very welcome.
Drupal Permissions Problem
As far as i can say the module has another problem with reassign of new Drupal Permissions after the modul is installed. Means you cant give another Account new roles with the standard-configuration.
This Problem can also be solved allowing different profiles for phpbb and Drupal like you said in your post above.
The only disadvantage then is that evry user has 2 different profiles, but best solution at the moment i think.
There's a separate
There's a separate permissions for this.
You speak of "2 different profiles", but this is not correct. It is still one user profile that can be modified through two different interfaces.
No, atm i dont have a patch
No, atm i dont have a patch for phpbb and drupal, sry.
Ok, my mistake, sry, this makes it much easier.
In the Installation-manual you also talk about another user-permission method, but i cant find it, neither in drupal nor in phpbb, i copied also another time the file acp_users into the phpbb acp-folder, but nothin happened.
~EDIT~
Sry, my mistake.
