Okay…so this is annoying…I decided to test out a theory…I went into the …/core/capabilities.php file and modified the participant role to see private threads and replies and even then, a user with the participant role could not view past the private forum level…wtf?

All I can think of is something, somewhere is overriding the core capabilities…ugh…the question is what and where?
