I think the key here is to have an option in Auto Affilates plugin to enable in Active post types. Apparently AAL plugin doesn't "see" any extra active post types from wpForo.
In my other forum using BBPRESS, i have that option "forum" in Active post types. So i can select it. In wpForo there is no extra post type registered.
Could some one from wpForo shed some light ?
See what i have while bbpress is enabled:
bbPress and wpForo have different cores and principles of posts organization. As I know bbPress posts are custom WP post types, so you can easily integrate it with another plugins. bbPress post ~= WP post. wpForo has own posts and topics structure. wpForo lives on one page. When you click on some topic it not opens this topic from WP standard db table, instead wpForo generates on same page html output of requested topic from his own db table.
I hope Robert will correct me and will explain other details.
I have checked my method for AAF plugin on test system and it works.
As it's already mentioned by antonM, wpForo is not based on Wordpress Post Types so all plugins which uses posts types can not be used for wpForo. I'm sorry but I'm not familiar with AAF plugin and can't help you in this question.

Then i will try also myself your second suggestion and see how it goes. What works in your test, your 1st or 2nd suggestion ?

That is probably also why my sitemap plugin doesn't include the wpForo topics/posts.
