 * I’m looking for a plugin to share WordPress and phpBB users. This one comes close,
   but it changes the WordPress login sequence in ways I didn’t expect.
 * When I visit /wp-admin, the plugin redirects to the phpBB login page. After I
   log in there, it redirects back to the WordPress front page; not the dashboard.
   If I manually visit /wp-admin again, I’m now logged in on the dashboard. After
   I log out of WordPress, I get redirected to the phpBB login page again instead
   of the WordPress front page.
 * Is this the way it’s meant to work? I’d prefer the plugin to just use the login
   information from the phpbb_users table for WordPress authentication, without 
   all the redirection business.
 * Cheers,
    Graham

 * At the moment this is the expected and proper behaviour of this plugin.. The 
   devs could change that in the future if they’re not all dead.

 * Thanks for the clarification. To be honest, what I _really_ want is for phpBB
   subscribers to be added to the default [MailPress](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mailpress/)
   newsletter rather than have them become WordPress users. Anyone know of a plugin
   that can do this?

 * these people are totally out of control! they need to stop all redirects and 
   really is twisting me the wrong way. There are a ton of people with this same
   issue and nothing has been resolved.
