After a successful install and several weeks of running a test site with 1.4.1 Beta 2, all of a sudden I'm having forum permission problems.
I have followed the usual steps to set up a hidden, private, forum and attach it to a hidden usergroup. I had created a test user account that was not in the group, and sure enough the forum and group were hidden from that user.
Yesterday I invited another person who is going to work with me on development to register, and then to let me know so I could move them in to the hidden group so they could see/post in the hidden forum. Well, as soon as they registered, with no additional permissions, they could see the forum and post in it. I verified that their profile was not in the hidden group, and I even created a second test account to verify that any registered user could see and post to the "private/hidden" forum. (Non-registered could not see the forum.)
Interestingly, the first test account I created some time ago can't see this forum, but any new user who registers can.
I know that this was discussed way back in April as an issue, but short of an uninstall/reinstall I didn't see a solution. Does anyone know of a solution or is this something that was identified and fixed in the Beta 3 release?
