Hi fella,
As I said a few posts up, its prolly best to ignore the synching for the moment, 0.5/6 is going to include a phpbb2 bridge, with very little modification this will allow your users to create a login based upon their current DF authentication.
Personally I wouldn't let them there is very little your average user needs. I cant remember if it is in this archive, but there is a roster -> eqdkp member synch script on this site.
I will re look at making this a bit cleaner once I understand what is going on with the eqdkp+ development.
Does the 1st problem occur only after applying my patches? or does it occur on a vanilla install?
Edit:
