That suggestion worked perfectly! Thanks so much!!

For anyone interested, you can edit any part of the wordpress email messages (/buddypress/bbpress) because they are all tied together) by going here to download this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/welcome-email-editor/

There are a couple more ways to customize the emails and the tutorial is here: http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-send-a-custom-welcome-email-to-new-users-in-wordpress/

Thanks for your help Robin! 🙂
