 * Hi there,
 * It says in your readme.txt
    1.6 Shortcode [bbp-topic-form] now only shows allowed
   forums
 * However when I use the shortcode in a custom page the forum select box shows 
   all forums no matter which group the user is in and on top of that every logged
   in user can post in any forum no matter his group setting.
 * Can you tell me what to do to fix this.
    Basically I need to show a new topic
   form with a select showing only allowed forums depending on groups the user is
   in.
 * Thanks in advance.
 * Cheers.

 * Hi again,
 * First of all I hope you had a wonderful time during your well-deserved holidays.
 * Concerning my previous post I think I found the problem but I would like your
   approval on it.
 * I noticed that the function private_groups_get_dropdown_forums (located in forum-
   filters.php) checks if $rpg_topic_permissions[‘activate’] is empty but the $rpg_topic_permissions
   variable is not defined in the said function and therefore is always empty. Adding
   global $rpg_topic_permissions; in the function makes the said variable known 
   and therefore everything works as expected.
 * Can you please tell me if this is in fact the solution to fix the problem?
    Hope
   my post is understandable.
 * Take care.
