please help, viewing recent posts threads

[mauisun]

sorry folks but I don't know where to post this question. How do I stop regular members from viewing the recent posts threads from private forums? I have some moderator and admin forums that are viewable by the regular members but they can't access them. problem is, that when staff make posts in them, the title of the posts show up in the recent threads view. they can't get in them but they can see the titles of them. i don't want to hide the forums altogether, just don't want posted threads titles from them showing up in the recent posts area of the search. can someone help me out with this please. thanks
