Sigh. I only want to share private forum contents of groups that have "Users must join to view the content" disabled, but I don't want to make forum contents of private forums generally available for any specific usergroup.

I don't understand, why isn't the "Users must join to view the content" function being ignored for moderated/invite only forums? Why is it there at all, if it isn't applied? Does it only apply for pictures and group messages, but not for forums? Please be finally a bit more specific on this, and explain this with more than a one line reply!

All I want is a link for a group forum in the forum index and group home page for a moderated group with "Users must join to view the content" disabled, and the possibility to actually view forum contents for non-members of a moderated group.

Please let me know if that is possible at all, and how to do that.

If that is not posible, I think it would be a good idea to change that with the next update, as this is VERY confusing, especially for users.
