Internal Boards Visible
I can see the titles of some threads in internal boards through the "latest post" thing.

As it stands, it's kind of a teaser...

Re: Internal Boards Visible
Are you joking or something?

The only internal boards I see are the ones I should have access to.

Re: Internal Boards Visible
I can see the title of the latest active thread on some internals I definitely do not have access to.
This problem's been around for a while.

Re: Internal Boards Visible
That's a different thing I noticed a while ago. There even is a thread about the issue.

Snail's post suggests that he somewhat managed to browse internal forums he doesn't have access to (which is weird).

Re: Internal Boards Visible
Only the titles, of course.

Re: Internal Boards Visible
Snail, please force refresh your browser window. Are recent topic titles from private boards you have no access to still visible to you?

If yes, go to your profile's Look and Layout Preferences, the first setting allows you to select forum theme (which has been enabled temporarily for testing purposes). Select SMF Default Theme. Does the problem still occur (please force refresh again)

This is going to annoy a boatload of people me included, but I had to reset theme settings for this. Please look at Look and Layout Preferences and set your preferences again if you had changed them. This includes everyone by the way.

Also, moving this to Site Support.

I've tried everything, but none of these steps fixed the issue. I can still see the internal topics.

Nope, I can definitely see internal thread titles on at least one board.

Re: Internal Boards Visible
Now that I think of it, I see the title of a thread in the new subforum for Global Moderators. It's named "Spambots".

Can you see the forum itself?

Re: Internal Boards Visible
Well, I can't. I can only view things from the "Last Post by... in thread..." (on the forum index)

Nope.

Snail's post at the beginning of this thread gives the impression that it's actually possible to browse internal boards. As he clarified later, he (we) can only see titles.

Yeah, I just wanted to know if he saw the board itself appearing as a child board, not whether he could actually then click on that board and see the threads.
