Postings to private forums appear in the active list to all visitors.
Can someone look into this?
Thanks

Have you added any mods, it certainly doesn't do that here, so it is not normal behaviour.

I haven't added any mods. In fact I'm working with a newly downloaded version.

I have created a forum which is "password protected and allowed member list". I've registered a new user (who isn't on the "allowed" list) - this user can access the private forum (using the password) but shouldn't be able to post to this forum...correct?

I've found that the new user can post to the forum - even though they're not on the "allowed list".

That is how it functions. If the user has the password they will be able to access the forum and post and reply to the forum.
If the user is part of the Allowed Member list they will be able to access the forum also.

They either have the password to the forum OR is on the Allowed Members list. Not both.

OK. I was wanting a forum to behave in a slightly different way to that described above - in that it is password protected (so that all with the password can view it) and only allowed members can post to it.

It seems to be behaving OK now regarding active lists (original post!)
