Private forums not so Private

20.02.21, 10:26

If I have a private forum that requires a upgraded membership and a member posts an image in there .... all somebody needs is the link to the image and anybody with a browser can view it.

Also if you look at a member's profile, you can see all the post titles they have been posting under. A member posting something about his divorce in a private forum and you can look at his profile and see thats all he's been talking about.

These seem to be some major over sights in regards to "private" forums.

Are you sure it’s not just because you too are a member of that private group or because you are admin?

Try making a test member who is not allowed to see the private forum and log in as them and see what they see.

Thats how we test things as different member groups
