Common thing to see if you activated tinymce for bbPress. Some of the html tags bbPress restricts usage from regular participants could also be used for Tinymce. Customize this function to your liking if there are many more html tags not outputting.

add_filter( 'bbp_kses_allowed_tags', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_kses_allowed_tags' );

You may not need to completely turn off the html editor tab now, as it is quite useful for users.

I am not sure where to put the above or which ones to use.

Place the php code snippet into your child themes functions.php file or place the snippet in a plugin like functionality.
