This contribution integrates the phpBB Forum script into CRELoaded, including following features:

---------------------------------------------
* Shared database. Only one MySQL database needed for both CRELoaded and phpBB. phpBB installation will create its own tables in your existing database.
* Shared account creation. Accounts are all created in CRELoaded, and mirrored to phpBB. Users register new accounts in phpBB will be redirected to use the create_account.php form in CRELoaded. Existing CRELoaded customers' data will be inserted to phpBB automatically when they login next time.
* Shared login/logoff and secured by IP checking. Unified login page, and stay logged in/off when switching from CRELoaded to phpBB and vise versa. Coded to check user IP when switching side. The quick login in phpBB has been standardized to use email address. CRELoaded session time lengthened from 24mins to 24hrs, to keep users logged in with CRELoaded when accessing phpBB. Auto login option in phpBB removed to prevent logging in users to cart unaware. This is to make your site more user friendly, no need to login again when switching sides, and keep everything seamless as a single website.
* Added Username in account creation. Username field has been added to the create account form in CRELoaded. This username is required, and will check existing usernames in database for collision. Old customers will have their usernames generated automatically when they login the next time, with first name + last initial + random 4-digit number.
* Synchronized account info. Users can change their email address and password from either CRELoaded or phpBB, and automatically synchronized on the other side.
* phpBB admin secured by using .htaccess password protection, don't need to login phpBB prior to access admin page anymore.
* Compatible with Ultimate SEO URLs in the first place. Don't need to modify seo codes.
