PROBLEM:
Basic Subscriber / Level 0 may create new forum posts, but is unable to read forum posts.
Admin & Level1+ can read posts (and do everything they are supposed to be able to do).

Steps to resolve:
Deactivated and re-activated bbPress.
Settings > Forums > Re-saved default settings.
Plugins > Suffusion BP Settings > selected (Re)Build BP Files
Verified related Forum areas have no s2Member icon.
Reviewed s2Member General Settings and Restrictions and was unable to find anything that might be causing this…

TWO QUESTIONS:

(1) Is there a setting I need to change to allow basic subscribers to read forum posts?

(2) Beneath my forum avatar is my display name and “Key Master”. Where do I change the Key Master title? I have looked in my profile and am unable to find any custom settings to make that change.
