I used the troubleshooting tool that you suggested because the site is live. I did not see it.
Now I have deactivated every plugin and used a default theme and now I can see the forum in the dashboard.
I have activated the plugins and I still am able to see everything. So case solved.
One consideration, I have had another forum installed before but opted for yours because there is a plugin to Paid Member Subscriptions, maybe that was the culprit.
The user role for Forum is KEYMASTER for myself
I used the troubleshooting and I only enabled bbPress which again did not show the links in the dashboard.
Same problem here, I will download the plugin and test.
