Sorry, I took a needed break from this for a couple of weeks, I got so frustrated I needed to get my mind off it for awhile. I agree, I believe SMF is one of, if not the best free forum component available for Joomla. And I would not mind paying or making a donation for a good product with good support.
Our last Mambo site was hacked and used to spoof pay pal accounts and I just finished installing Joomla from scratch a couple of weeks before the problems started happening. And we just started to get our traffic to return to the site. I never had so many problems with the old website running Joomlaboard, this time with SMF I had problems with synchronizing logins, photos, problems with user profiles, etc, etc.
As you said it could possibly be user error, although this is not a first time install for me, I've successfully setup and configured almost a dozen Mambo/Joomla websites, I am a computer consultant by trade, MCSE and Cisco certified and began my career programming in Applesoft Basic back in 1985. Have programmed in Cobol, Pascal, RPG, Visual Basic, and so on, NOT to say I'm an expert, far from it, and I am certainly lacking in my PHP skills, my point is, I'm not an amateur or a noob. Anyway, I wll try the suggestions you made and hopefullt with that and the mental break I took things can get back to working order. Thanks Mike and Elite for your feedback and Wolverine, I know you do a good job here, I read the forums regularly, thanks for your help.
Being unable to log into your admin backend has very little chance to be related to the JSMF bridge. If you cant uninstall CB normally, simply go to your FTP, remove the com_comprofiler both in the administrator/components and components folder, and remove any database table with "comprofiler" in it. You can also do that with JSMF, but make sure you reinstalled the same JSMF version, or know what you're doing with the files that JSMF modified and replace them with the original backups.
Also, make sure when you go to your site's admin backend, enter your site's url with the "www." prefix (if that's what you specify as your live site in your config, or vice versa).
If you still cant enter the backend, download the full installation copy of the joomla version you're using, unzip it into a folder, and overwrite the folder administrator/includes of your site with the one you downloaded, together with index.php and index2.php.
If all fails, then i guess the simplest way is to restart everything, but theelite is correct in pointing out that SMF is by far the best forum (it is almost as capable as vbulletin, and it's free), and that the bridge here at joomlahacks is the best bridge for joomla and smf. In 90% of the cases whereby things dont work, the software is rarely the problem. The user is So being a tad bit polite when requesting help from an open community help, especially when the problem seems only to happen to you. That usually point to the user at fault.
Rgds, Mike

Hello i installed the component and modules without problems for joomla 1.0.11 + SMF 1.1 RC3 + CB 1.0 RC2 But i have 3 problems with the plugins.
1. plugin_smfForumPosts - when u hide/show a post item content.(Double slashes)
Code:
http://xxx.com/bbs/Smileys//cry.gif
2. plugin_smfProfile has also a broken avatar link -a quick fix inside /components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_smfprofile/smf_profile.php on line 204
2. plugin_smfProfile has also a broken avatar link -a quick fix inside /components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_smfprofile/smf_profile.php on line 204
the above original codes are actually correct. the "tn" you see is the thumbnail of the avatar. check your images folder if the thumbnails actually exist. they have the same filenames as their original-sized avatars, just with a "tn" in front.

open up your joomla's configuration.php and look for $mosConfig_live_site. it should contain a value similar to http://www.domain.com, with the www and without the index.php

No it doesn't contain an index.php - the live_site setting.
And i checked the Bridge Guide from settings, beside the modify profile and account all other things seem to work. Disabled htaccess didnt solved it either.

i have the author bot that displays the username in "Written by johndoe" as a link to its profile. It has allways worked, but i just decided to use an Alias instead of the username.
When i click on that alias link(which should take me to the uprofile of the user that submitted the article) i get the error that you can see in the image i attach.
