Hello. I've created a new private forum, and I want people to be able to request access as stated on the help page. But it's not working. When I register as a new Nabble user, log in, and go to my forum, all I get is the following:

Private Forum
Authorized Users Only
Sorry, but only authorized users can proceed in this area. If you are a registered user, login to send a request to the forum owners.

No request form is ever displayed. I can log in as many times as I like and it doesn't change a thing. I have the following options set:

• Top Level: Only Authorized Can View & Post
• Sub-Forums: Inherit Who Can View & Post
• Top Level: Restrict New Topics & Sub-Forums
• Sub-Forums: Don't restrict new topics

The forum is embedded with the forced redirect turned on, but turning it off doesn't change the behavior. Still no access request form, only the Authorized Users Only page.

Are there any other options I should be looking at? All help much appreciated. Thanks.
