Members having problems viewing Announcements

[shunut]

So I went to the forum that my announcements say they are from, when you click them in the "New Posts" window. It seems that the admin before me, instead of making it an inactive forum, just changed the permissions so that nobody had permission to view the forum, therefore nobody would see the forum, since it was closed. Unfortunately this still didn't fix the problem. I tested another announcement and when clicked on through "New Posts" it said it was from another section on the forum that is setup just for admins. What is the common thread? When the first forum was active, it was the last active section on the forum. Once that was set to inactive, the admin section was the last active section on the forum. So, it seems that when you click on the announcement through the "New Posts" it pulls the permissions from the last active section on the forum. I created another section and put it at the very bottom of the forum, gave everyone permissions in the section, but made it so nobody could see it. I haven't been able to test this but should hopefully be able to do so this morning.
