Hi,

i have a question about setting visibility for fora, and acces for users to them.

I knowticed that nothing is shown where you don't have access to, which is great. I have found a bug in that system. When you use the search option, you get results on every item in the database, including the messages posted in the hidden fora. You can't see them though, but you get the "not enough rights" message, which makes a lot of members suspicious and they want to know what it is.

Can't you exclude postings from the searchresults where you don't have acces for anyways?

Thanks,
Tim

This has been posted about 100's of times.

The reason why the titles are shown in the search results is for performance reasons.

But in version 8 the permissions system has been changed so the search page will be re-written to include permissions when searching.

Is that hint not good enough?
