I tried the "Show the last topic titles on index" the problem is, it is showing the last topic in index to members, when they are PRIVATE forums for groups only! It is a glitch? It shouldn't be showing those topics to members, just the groups that have access to those forums.

All the permissions say groups, and they don't have subforums. But the titles still show up to any members(i went on my test account to find that out). If they click it they get this message:

Sorry, but only users granted special access can read topics in this forum.

But I don't like them seeing the topic names of my private forums.

If you don't want them to see the last topic title, you only have 2 choices :

1- disable the last topic title on the index (Admin panel > configuraiton > "hierarchy" tab)

2- Set "View" to "Groups" in the permissions setting, so the private forum will not be shown to members who don't have access.

Ok I had to turn it off. I think having it on is a cool option, however I don't want to hide any forums. The more forums people see, the better. Plus under each forum it tells them the post requirements.
