I had read on another forum to turn off “Prefix your forum area with the Forum Base slug (Recommended)”
Once I did that it started working again.
So strange why it would do that all of a sudden.
In any case that fixed it atleast. 
		
	 
	
	
	
 
		
			
	
	
		
		OK great that gives me the options on the main Forum page. Is there a way to have these options at the bottom of each forum page?
		
	 
	
	
	
 
		
			
	
	
		
		I discovered my plugin S2members was making free activation not possible. When I disabled that I was then able to put a check in the box “Anyone can register” I went back to my forum but there is still no option for a user to “Create an Account”
