This is a good time to remind everyone about privacy.
All anyone has to do to read the private forums is register. Our registration is automatic so anyone, at any time, as long as they have a current email, can register.
If there is something you want to keep private I would suggest NEVER putting it on the Internet. That is the best way to protect yourself.
The private forums are still a good idea because being private does keep out the visitor who never registers. We have more "visitors" than users on each day. The visitors can't see the private forums.
I think it is very important for members to know that anyone viewing the forum can click on a username and see details on profile pages unless the member has set limits in their privacy settings.
If you want only members viewing that information then set 'View your details on your profile page' to 'Members only'.
