Laura,
I'm not sure if you are aware of this but threads/posts in forums that are not visible to the end-user will not display when NEW POSTS is clicked.
Another thing you should try is ... not sure if this works with NEW POSTS
when editing a forum within ADMINCP/ Forums & Moderators disable INDEX NEW POST IN SEARCH ENGINE (this option will prevent anyone from being able to search in forum)
If this is not what you want ... I recommend following what ANDREAS mentioned above.
