It seems that the login module looks at the smf session to determine if a user is logged in. Joomla uses a different method to timeout this session length compared to smf.

So after 15 minutes a user is still logged into smf but joomla has logged them out. The module is showing the smf login so it confuses users. I think the solution is to increase the session login time in joomla and make sure the 'always logged in' checkbox is selected.

Same issue here. The login module says users are logged in but whenever trying to access restricted content, joomla reports the user as not being logged in. The work around is to log out and then back in again.

Any care to offer a solution?

Thanks in advance

Fantastic! Worked a treat 

bump. Still looking for an answer to this one

Can we specify just the one board to return latest posts from? Maybe a little hack is in order?
