As a simple registered user I see this:

so your new sub-forum is not responding to the Smart Pages option - the key bit for which I am seeking a resolution!

As both a registered user and a member of the "Prayers" group when attempting to access the sub-forum I got an "Access Request" screen. I checked the permissions and noticed that the "Prayers" group did not have the "View" permission set. I rectified that and now my test user can enter the "Testing Sub-Forum" and reply.

So everything is behaving in the way I reported when I raised the issue. The point about "Smart Application Pages" is that it is meant to hide the existence of a sub-forum from unauthorised users, not just prevent access.

I thought the feature worked well when a "Mixed" app is at the top level, but I have just done some tests and realise I was mistaken and it is working in the same way as with the Category app. I think it must have been the choice of sub-forums that I happened to hide in that app that made me thought it was working at all levels.

I have now confirmed the same behaviour in my GregHelp forum having set that up with deeper levels that are meant to be hidden but remain visible. Can we do any further tests there, so I can remove the test forum from the live site.
