I am now having the same problem as Seth – unable to add topics, replies or edit posts. I tried disabling “combining and caching of forum script (JS) files” and resetting the combined script cache, but the problem remains.
I am running WordPress 3.6 and SimplePress 5.3. I recently updated all installed SimplePress plugins as well as several other plugins. I’m not sure when the problem first appeared. I was notified of it by one of our members.
What else should I check?

The only thing that looks worrisome that I can see is that your page is throwing a couple of script errors one of which may be stopping other jQuery calls from working as they should – which would explain the behaviour. I am not 100% on this but it is all I can see. And errors like these can cause so many problems…
The first – a TypeError is being thrown by your theme – Graphene – in their own bundled script so I have no idea what it is doing. Was there an update to your theme as well? The second error is actually in the WP stats code so I doubt that is the real probpem and might be an effect of the first error.
Yes, it apparently is a problem with the Graphene Theme. I switched to another theme temporarily and the javascript buttons worked fine. I believe I did install an update to Graphene recently. I will check with theme developer for support on this issue. Thanks for your help.
I searched the Graphene support forum and found that they were aware of a glitch in the latest update (1.9.1) which was causing the JavaScript error. They had a downloadable replacement graphene.js file as temporary patch until they release the next update. I installed that and all is well again!
Thanks again for your quick response and assistance in debugging this issue. I really appreciate it.
Wow. Impressed. It’s good when one works out like this – so many themes authors are reluctant to admit there might be anything at all wrong! Refreshing. And good news of course.
I am not sure if this is the same problem I am having. After I add a youtube video to my forum, it is effectively locked and no one else can edit or reply to previous posts.
Here is an example of one of these posts:

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
You have JavaScript conflicts – your wp theme and, I suspect, another plugin – which needs to be fixed. This codex article explains what this means and what to look for:

Your site is throwing mutliple serious scripting errors which all starts with your theme loading an old version of jQuery instead of abiding by the rules and using the one bundled with WP. This problem passes to something called rokbox and on and on and stops the forum functioning but probably more as well.
