check the counter under users. If you can resend one via the admin function, it is not a hosting issue it is a bp bug.
Also if all the notices about new message and other notifications are being received by user it is not a hosting issue, it is a bp bug.
I have a full bbpress working environment which is grate and managed under secure and wp user accounts.
The new site I saw bp aka buddypress and it seem to meet the needs for what I am doing.
Profile are exclusive to each group for editing. this is option in profiles.
having same issue, I know what your seen. I login and some links work clear cache and all is good. login again or new user and they links keep going back to register page.
Have you found a solution.
I have not installed any 3rd part cache for WP either.
