When you see “javascript:void(0)” in the browser status bar, it’s a normal thing to expect with JavaScript code on the page. More info on it iin the Codex.  I am seeing javascript:void(null) for a browser link

Far as the buttons not doing anything when clicked is usually an issue with a conflict or the wrong jQuery being loaded in WordPress. There is some info about that here. What is this jQuery Conflict?
If you share your forum url with us someone can probably take a quick look and see if can find the problem.

None at all? Not even those that Simple:Press loads?

I would suggest you let us take a look at your forum page, If this is acceptable then Please PM credentials to both myself and to ‘Mr Papa’. Please include in the PM a link to your site, a link to this thread and brief reminder of the problem. And one of us will take a look for you.

Your site is throwing the following script error:

TypeError: e.widget.extend is not a function

which is having the effect of stopping jQuery from running any more script calls. So things stop working. The problem is – I have no idea which component on your site s actually causing this. You may have to to test for this the old fashioned way I am afraid – which is by deactivating plugins one at a time until things work at which point we know the source of the issue even if not the actual reason.

Actually – it may just be the WordPress theme as well. Always worth trying with the WP default theme briefly just in case.

Sorry I can not be more explicit…

the problem is identifying what the component is or line of code is that causes the issue. And in that score I really do have no idea where to start… Would like to be more helpful bit this will come down to understanding the code and what it is doing and where. It will be in the scripts though I should imagine.

Sadly, a lot of theme authors do not tajke plugins into account when they construct things…
