Hello
I am the Admin of a free forum, and in the "Administration Panel > General > Forum > Categories and forums" I have set the permission for one of the forums so that the option "View the forum" is checked for all members but "Read the topics", "Reply to a message", and others are only checked for a special group of users which I have created. In "Users & Groups > Groups > Group Administration", in the "Group status" section, I have chosen the option "Opened group", which it says it will allow a user to "ask to be a part of the group", but when the members click on the forum title, they get the message "Sorry, but only users granted special access can read topics in this forum" without any further option to allow them to request to be a part of the group who can access the forum.
Is there a bug or something, or have I overlooked some setting?
Thanks in advance
