@elangley: just had a look at the status of this issue: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2425
It seems it has been closed there, as it was submitted on the bbPress, rather than Buddypess Trac.

I submitted this very issue now to the Buddypress Trac: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5187 (rather than ask you to do this, I just copied your original submission)

Glad the issue could be replicated.

@elangley: thanks for submitting a trac ticket. I’m definitely interested in having this issue fixed. And thx as well for the advice on the BuddyPress Import plugin, will try it.

Just a long shot… do you use an e-mail address as username?

Have a look at my question https://buddypress.org/support/topic/problem-with-email-adress-as-username/ from some months ago. Unfortunately nobody replied.
Workaround is to to create usernames without @ (we always create users ourselves, completely private groups, members need to be invited).
Didn’t check recently if the problem has been resolved or not.

Installed a plugin for users to login with their e-mail address or their username (which they typically forget) Plugin is WP Email Login: *Allows you to log into WordPress using your email address instead of a(nother) username.* Can be found at https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-email-login/

Don’t know if you might have a similar issue.
