CB/SMF Account Creation and Login Conflicts

Sorry if there are threads already addressing this, but I've been looking and I can't find anything that fixes this problem.

I have installed both the forums and the bridge and I can get CB and the forums to work independently of each other but I am having issues synching the two up.

My end goal is to have all registration for my site to be handled via CB and for that a front page login from the CB module will result in a login to both the site and the forum. I have yet to be able to accomplish this.

I can synchronize the logins by using the original Joomla module, but if someone registers from the front page, it creates a Joomla profile and not a CB profile. If I change the login module to the CB module, it creates a CB profile, but not a forum profile and even logging into previously synchronized accounts via this module does not log you into the forums, just CB. I've tried all the combinations of registration and login options via the back-door component editor for the bridge and it doesn't seem to fix it.

My main question is: How do I go about synchronizing login between the CB Login module and the forums?

Like I said, I'm really sorry if this has been addressed already. If it has, just point me in the right direction, please.
