Oops, there goes another ding on my karma, crap!
I wasn't "shouting" anything, I just wondered if it was a bug, because I don't remember this happening when I used to have to do the bridge manually, this is the first time I used the tool under Admin Tools.
The link you sent me doesn't apply to my problem:
5.2.3 Coppermine users, groups and pics uploaded by users are lost when integrating
Warning: If you already have users and custom groups in your coppermine database when you enable bbs integration, be aware that they will be lost. If your coppermine users have already created private albums and uploaded pics to them, they will be lost as well!
No users are lost, the users are being crossed referenced to other users. For example, I had user A, B and C in phpBB and the same users A, B and C in Coppermine. The two have run seperately for a while. I bridged them using the tool. Now if User A posts to the gallery, it shows up under User B's gallery. Likewise for User C, her posts show up under User A, and so on. The same exists for the link to the User Profile. If you click on User A link (profile) it takes you to the profile of User B.
No users are lost, no galleries are are lost, no photos/files are lost. I have been using your great (and I honestly love it) product for a long time now and this is the first time I have seen the Coppermine Gallery confuse the user IDs like this before. That is the ONLY reason I mentioned the "B" word, my mistake.
I guess this user can't bridge her Coppermine and phpBB, must not be possible in this case. I followed the instructions in your documents to the letter, and this is what's happening. So if it's not a bug, then it's by design.
