Usually:
– bbPress
– Connections
– Simple WordPress Membership
But as mentioned, I’ve also tried it with all but bbPress deactivated. No difference.
– Check email
– Childify Me
– Huemon Addons
have also been installed, but they’ve been deactivated for a while. I’ll try uninstalling those.

Okay, those three have now been uninstalled. Now I only have the following three plugins installed:
– bbPress
– Connections
– Simple WordPress Membership
and of those three, only bbPress is Activated.
No difference.
I then tried Method 2, and get the same results.
When I first installed bbPress, I found an item in the WordPress Dashboard that said “Forums”; I clicked on that, and then on “New Forum”.
I typed in a title, and a brief blurb in the content box, and then clicked on “Publish”.
I then, in the WP Dashboard, clicked on Appearance/Menus, expanded the “Forums” category, found my newly-created forum, and added it to my menus.
Then when I load my site in a web-browser, and go to that menu item, I got a forum page where I could add entries, which result in what I posted above.
