Sidebar widget glitch

I just noticed something not kinda safe

I have locked my forum down to non members temporarily however i still want members to be able to access the forum until i get the other issue of the html homepage sorted.

If you have the widget on and have the statistics section on it, even though people cant gain access to the forum until they register, non members can see new members, amount of posts the forum has and pretty much everything on the sidebar which is enough information to make it easier to hack the forum.

I managed to gain access to my forum through the sidebar without logging in when the forum was closed down *Under construction* and when new members we're banned

I have placed a request in the suggestions area to get an auto off setting so when the forum is locked and you log out the sidebar disappears

When you go to "Modules / Forum Widgets Management" and click this icon on an already added widget, you can set the permissions for this block - unmark the "Guests" box and save - the widget should not be visible for visitors anymore.

I assume this was only possible as you were previously logged in as admin on your computer (cookie data)?

I tried that already, it didn't seem to update the widgets for some reason,

I disable cookies on my PC, i hate them lol so when i log out i have to manually insert all the login details, i took the picture just before i was logging in, i assume that its just a simple glitch that may need updated
