Was this a previous conversion? Can you find any pattern in what’s missing and why?
If you can duplicate it, create a trac ticket.
Switch which theme you’re using for compatibility, or see what CSS is no longer getting loaded. Some things did change from 2.0 to 2.1 in this regard, but nothing should have broken.
Are your forums private or hidden?
Turn on WP_DEBUG. Read errors. Check error logs. Trace the error back to the culprit.
If you need help from an expert beyond the bbPress development team, hire one. 
It’s safe, but I don’t think I would use TinyMCE with anonymous posting turned on. If so, you should probably modify the TinyMCE functionality to restrict what UI elements are available.
False alarm. Going to try again later tonight.
Global sticky posts throw the counts off because they are part of the pagination, but aren’t actually in the current forum.
Happy that was an easy fix.
Posts edited to remove fullpath.
Looks like you’re hosting this on your local Windows machine?
That does look pretty odd. Do you have a bunch of global sticky topics? I see at least 1 poking out there.
Try again.
The sequence to tag bbPress to the WordPress plugins repo is a bit wonky, so you probably got an out-of-date zip.
I just tested it now, and it appears to be fine.
Sounds like the theme just doesn’t enable bbPress to hook in and take care of things. You’ll want to talk to Woo about bbPress compatibility. Tell them to ping me (here is fine) if they have questions.
Not only does that not scale, it simply doesn’t work. Better to actually prevent it from getting in, which bbPress 2.1 will do.
Question of the day: Is your account actually an admin account?
You assumed wrong. That’s okay, because next you need to figure out which plugin isn’t working correctly by deactivating them one at a time and seeing which one stops the bad stuff from happening.
I have a hunch it’s the bbPress Admin Bar Addition one.
Ultimately, you just need to open the hood and start tinkering.
What version of bbPress? And where are these incorrect links located? What plugins other than bbPress are you running?
This felt like a bug to me, either in bbPress or some other thing, so I created a ticket and fixed it right away for bbPress 2.1.

Users with accounts should almost always have the ‘read’ capability. If they lost it somehow, it seems like it’s because something interfered with it.
You don’t get to change those links; they are created automatically by WordPress.
What version of WordPress are you using?
This should be as easy as finding the link in your theme, and changing it. Search your theme’s template files for #new-topic and see what you find.
In bbPress 2.1, functions.php is replaced with bbpress-functions.php in your theme, to avoid the conflict.
Looks like your theme doesn’t allow for bbPress to work correctly. What versions of BuddyPress and bbPress are you using?
Yeah; the meta queries are really awful.
I think I’ve resolved the issue. You’re one of the first people to report back using bbPress 2.x at that scale, so I’d love some feedback on the change.

The URLs do follow the same structure as WordPress, exactly actually.
Keep in mind that WordPress has never needed to have a mixed post-type URL structure, except for the case of attachments (which don’t really count.)
None of the words in the URL are ‘useless’ since they’re all indicative of where the content lives.
bbPress and WordPress are designed to allow those with specific needs and wants to customize the codebase, and contribute the changes they needed up-stream to the parent project. If this is something multiple people would like, I suggest you group up and build it. If it works, and more people want it, we absorb it into bbPress core.
Boom.
