Hidden Forums Still Viewable

Heres a strange one..

Ive set the admin forums as hidden to all usergroups except for admin yet people other than admin can see them, how can that be?

Ive tried setting it in both usergroups - forum permissions, and Forums & moderators - Forum Permissions. Both without success.

Even 'Deny All', doesn't work.

Ive done this loads of times before (on other vb boards) without any issue.

Any ideas?

I can see that you have the forum, but it says Private next to it and I can't get in. In Forum Manager > Forum Permissions > all usergroups except Admin, you need to set it so usergroups can't even View the Forum. I think you said you did that, but you may want to double-check. Also, look in the Forum Manager > select the Staff Forum > Show Private Forum > No.

I am pretty sure the option was not there for 3.0, but I have no idea for 3.5.
