Do you know if there's a trac ticket for this issue? If you can link me to it, I can respond there. If there isn't one, let's find a way to chat more about what the issue is and we can make a new issue together.

The way you've described the issue, makes it sound like it's by design: content within a private forum should stay as private as we can keep it. If there's a bigger issue, let's figure it out! :)
