possible conflict with other plugins or your theme

Try deactivating all plugins except bbPress and then add buddypress back and restest. if ok, the add other plugins back one at a time to see which is causing the conflict.

If no joy, then switch to default theme (eg twentytwelve) and see if it still is still there

Come back and let us know how you got on
