Yes, I understood your problem correctly, it is very similar to that of Marcus.
I had hoped for you that changing the order of the plugins would have helped a bit but apparently not.
Have you tried to deactivate the slide show you are using as a header, it may be a conflict with it.
Have you tried with another template too, the goal is to eliminate things in order to determine the cause of the problem.
And finally have you tried with a new installation of joomla, without any additional template, without any component other than jOpenSim, without any other module and without any plugin other than those of joomla by default.
