Well, i think no one have noticed this.
If possible, generate this issue on your board.
Go to forum management -> user group permissions and set the "Guest" permissions to not view a forum.
Now open your board in IE and the forum's user group permissions are ignored. Everyone can see the forums that are not to view.
What is the cause?
i don't have this problem bro, triple checked on four different browsers. check your permissions again, might not have saved.
I can't replicate this in ie8 i just removed the guests permission to view a certain forum and it dissapeared from guests view.
This isn't something that would be browser specific. Double check you've set them right.
you may have a corrupt forum_permissions cache. once you change permissions, the cache should be updated, but if you go to Tools & Maintenance > Cache Manager, click on forum_permissions and see of the permissions are properly listed there
if not, very the permissions are set correctly, then check the cache again, if still not right, click the rebuild cache link and check again
I had checked twice, even disabled the display of category for guests. But they are still visible.
Internet Explorer version is 7
Printscreen the permissions you've setup.
permissions set is correct in cache manager.

But guests can still access those forums.
when you log out to test the permissions are you forcing a browser refresh or clearing your browser cache and then calling the page?
I did both. Cleared the browser cookies and hard refreshed Ctrl+F5. But same problem.
