Thanks a lot for the "Failed to update password to SMF" fix. It was reported by one of our members, and half an hour later it was fixed. Just to let you know, thank you.

Manymany thanks from me also. This was the main problem for forum links to topics inside my forum not working correctly, since the unbridged forum url was used in some cases. You'd never want users to link directly to /forum/ etc..., but always using the portal link 'index.php?option=com_smf&...'

One additional problem though. SMF session cookie lifetime 'forever', portal cookie lifetime '1 hour'., when users log in I see them appearing in the portal Online List as well in the Forum Online list.

When a user just shuts down the browser, the Forum no longer displays the user as beeing 'online', which is correct.

However: the portal still displays the user as beeing online, which is incorrect. Can this be solved one way or another? I saw there is a Joomla table jos_sessions where all the previously logged in users are still shown... Maybe on browser shutdown the user session should be ended somehow?
