I am currently having difficult with something that I think might be simple to configure.

I have a very simple site that is not using any third party or complex permissions settings. I have registered users who are “Contributors” and I am attempting to configure a forum that only members can see.

I have created a new forum.
Settings are as follows:
Type: Forum
Status: Open
Visibility: Private

When you click on the permalink to that forum my site throws back a 404.

When I change the visibility to public the forum works.

Hoping there is some minor configuration I am missing to getting this going and creating a forum that only registered members of the site can view and contribute to?

thank you in advance!
