[Using Sakai] Restricting access by group in new forums

[Amber D. Evans]

David,

I noticed that sometimes that would happen to forums I was working on, and I
wasn't sure why.  What I did learn was that if it left draft format and was
published (visible), and could then revoked it back to draft, change the
permission settings, save it, and published it, it would seem to clear up
the issue.  I was never really sure if it was a problem with our system or
with my computer and cache since I wasn't able to replicate this exact
problem each and every time.

Other folks may have a better technical explanation.  Out of curiousity,
what version are you using?  Sakai 2.6.2?

Sincerely,
Amber D. Evans
