[Plugin: Wp2BB] A few bugs

I installed this plugin and am experiencing a few issues.

– Time difference: there seems to be a 3 hour time difference between the time it is posted to the forum and the actual time zone setting of the forum. Both WordPress and, in this case, phpbb, are set to UTC-8. When replies are posted to the forum thread, they appear above the initial post since the replies will have an earlier time stamp.

– Not posting as forum user name as set in wp2bb. I have my forum user name set as Staff, yet the forum thread is posted under Guest. I have created a user as Staff and enabled permissions for that user to be able to post anywhere on our forum.

– Links are not being translated to BBCode. For the “Topic message text for posts:” field, I have the following:

{$post}

---
Article link: <a href="{$purl}">{$title}</a>

Any links in the $post will not translate to BBCode since I have HTML disabled. Will I have to enable HTML in order for linking to function correctly?

I have every field in wp2bb filled in except “Default forum for post:” and “Default forum for pages:”. When I did have these fields filled in, I don’t remember having as many issues.
