Sorry i never posted the changes..
here they are

look for

PHP Code:

      if (!$hideprivateforums) {
        $forumperms['canview']=1;
      } 


above it add

PHP Code:

$trueperm['canview'] = $forumperms['canview']; 


now use

PHP Code:

          if($trueperm['canview']) {
            $forum['lasttitle']=unhtmlspecialchars($forum['lasttitle']);
            if (strlen($forum['lasttitle']) > 30) {
              $forum['lasttitle'] = substr($forum['lasttitle'], 0, 28);
              $forum['lasttitle'] .= '..';
            }
          } 


i've updated the main file now.
