hmm.. as not a user can’t see the page to see what the issue is
Sorry. Can you get a better idea from this screenshot? Thank you. 
looks like a css issue.
if this is a new installation (that is submit has never shown) then it could be a theme or plugin issue
Themes
As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
Plugins
If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users
Health Check & Troubleshooting
Thank you! I didn’t use the plugin you suggested, but you got me investigating with the browser’s Web Developers tools. I saw an error or something about “recaptcha.” So I started looking at the recaptcha settings: Settings > forums.
There’s a check box that says “recaptcha for logged in users.” I had this checked. I tried unchecking this setting, and my “submit” button (and hidden right sidebar from a different issue) reappeared.
Thank you again.
great – glad you are fixed
