Have you tried viewing the site as a non-board member?

I previously thought this was happening but it was just because I was logged in as admin.

I am sure I am doing something wrong.  I have a website that I built for our Home Owners Association. I have set up a general forum for our members.  No issues.  I then set up a private board for our Board Members and gave access to only those members who are on the board.  I have tested it and only those people can see the board.  So far so good.  It is structured as follows:

Board Member (forum)

      Issues (forum)

      Finances (forum) etc.

                Financial Issues (topic set to private)

When I use the widget - wpforo recent topics or wpforo recent posts it shows the topics from the private forum to all members and the first line of the topic or so.  Clearly I don't want this to show at all unless it is to a Board Member or a member of that group.  What am I doing incorrectly?
