First, let me apologize for having virtually no clue what I'm doing.
Second, I tried to install simple:press, love how it looks on the page, but I can't seem to post a topic.
I've also downloaded a membership plugin (WP emember) that I'm hoping I will be able to use to block off part of my site, as well as the part with the simple:press forum, to users who have not registered (sent me their name and email).
Here is my site: http://www.lyalstrickland.com
Here is my forum: http://www.lyalstrickland.com/forum
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I am at a loss of what to do next. Thanks!

In the first instance I am seeing a javascript error and this is probably enough to stop other scripts from running correctly. This appears to be in some script held inline which has something to do with fading in and out. Other than that I can't tell where it is coming from - i.e., WP theme or another plugin.
Of course as a not-logged in user I don't get to see much but have you actually created any forum groups and forums yet?

i have created a group and a forum... i've just changed it so guests will be able to see it.
i have two suspicions on what might be causing the javascript error. 1: the slider images in my theme 2: i have a plugin called jquery colorbox that makes all of my images lightbox when clicked...
is there a way to fix this, or should i just host the forum on a new WP site that has a simpler theme and less plugins?

I would suggest the first thing to do is try out the theory. Deactivate those plugins briefly to see if things work as expected in the forums. As for the slider image from the theme - then surely this would not be on every page would it so if it is well written it will not be loading scripts on the forum page. If it IS loading them then that's not so good. But try the plugin first. We can usually help fix these things.

ok... i've deactivated that plugin and a few others that i wasn't using. i've set up a group and a forum, which shows up but when i click 'add topic' nothing happens. any thoughts? :S

update: i've deactivated every plugin with the exception of simple:press... still no luck. does this mean the java conflict is within the theme itself? if so, what's the best way to go about fixing this?
thanks in advance for the help :S

It sounds like it. Switch briefly to the WP default theme. Do a quick test and then switch back. If that solves the problem then we have something to work with.

switched to twentytwelve and it worked fine. is this still fix-able?
Offline
it is nearly always fixable but it probably means you will have to get down into the code to make changes. And that is not necessarily as hard as it sounds!
But before that - have you looked through the theme options? Are there any options to only display items on specific pages or tun features off - as opposed to having them blanket loaded everywhere?
