If you set your parent forum to private, all sub-forums will be private too and the list of authorized users will be inherited. So, reset your sub-forums to "Everyone Can View & Post" and let just the parent forum control who can view and post.

So, to clarify: if the sub-forum is set to "Everyone Can View & Post", the 'Everyone' is restricted to authourized users in the parent forum?    That is, the subforum is still not public.    Logically, it makes sense but I agree that the action-description is counter-intuitive.
