Notes
Please make sure when installing applications you have admin account on both with the same user name and password.
Make sure you checked the topic http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=23892 for the vBulletin bridge, since both bridges are using the same way to work with 4images some questions may be already answered there.
Known issues
Known not to be working if phpBB configured to use mysql driver. Use mysqli instead (http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.overview.php).
phpBB_installation_path/config.php
When switching bridge off users can’t login to 4images anymore from the native 4images form. However they still exist in 4images database and could request for new password.
After logging off user will be returned to the main page of the forum installation instead of page he was browsing previously.
