BuddyPress.org

You’re welcome, Mekudos. Thanks for checking it out.

The forums aren’t really meant to be seen by users. It’s simply what’s used to make group posting work. If you create a new group and give it some posts & replies, then head to the forums, you’ll see how the 2 parts of the installation work together.

If you want your members to actually log into and post via forums (rather than groups) then you’ll need to put a link on your template that would direct them there.
