Hi,
When I use "show what people are doing" feature I can see a lot of users with "You do not have appropriate permissions needed to see this topic" status. Why? I'm an administrator and moderator so I think I should know what people work on. Could you explain me in what situation this message appears?
Best regards
Remek

I have a solution in mind, but as I now have my own forum I would like to test it first.
Unfortunately I can't reproduce this:

I posted a link to a topic only registered members can access (permissions for anonymous users: Visible=Yes, Read=No) in a topic everybody can access. Now I logged off and followed the link, I got redirected to the login page. And the action list said: "Login Form".
Did I get your post wrong?

Sorry, I can't reproduce it. So I make my suggestions, without having tested it.
My favourite solution would be:
Only show actions/posts, the watching user is allowed to see. If he isn't allowed to see the current action/post, show the last one.
But I think that this isn't possible for actions, because I think that there is no 'history' of actions by the user and only the last action is saved. In this case I'd like to suggest to pretend that the user is browsing the forum's list.
And for the anonymous user, I'd like to suggest that you show the last action the user was allow to do or leave it blank.
So in the end we wouldn't need this text any more.

Any comments on my suggestion?
EDIT (I want to add a reason for my suggestion):
I don't think that is a good idea to show this text, because maybe the admin wants to hide a forum completely to some users. And if these users see "You do not have appropriate permissions needed to see this topic." they will know that there is a forum that they can't see.

Storing browsing history of the user would be too slow and memory intensive, so there are no plans to do that in the near or far future. If you want to have different text displayed on no-permission, simply change the template and provide a different default then the one currently being used.

Don't you think pretending the user is browsing the forum list is better than using the 'irritating' text?
Then we could change the text related to the anonymous user into something like "User isn't allowed to access topic".
And is it possible to show the last message (in the column "Last Message"), that the user is allowed to see instead of "You don't have ..."?

I admit that the text doesn't give any information about the hidden forum, but the users reading the text will certainly know that there is a hidden forum.
Apparently you don't want to implement my suggestions, so I 'reduce' it to the suggestion to change the next appearing next to the anonymous users into "User isn't allowed to access topic".

Well, I don't think that the message is clear. When I see "You don't have permission..." next to anonymous users I think there must be something wrong (Why does an anonymous user has more right than me?). And I think that this was the problem of remek (topic starter) too.
