Solved issu with recent topics

while testing around with image properties I came across a small other issu.

when deactivating a main category (but not explicite the subcategories) the forum doesn't show them all - that's fine,
BUT
you will see the newer entries of a not deactived subcategory if switching to "Recent topics".

is this as it should be??

ok, as I'm logged in as superadmin I always see the topics (also if the subcat is disabled),
but when disabled the topics are colored like "deleted" style und if only the maincategory 
is disabled the topics looks normal.

now, just checked as basic user and it is what I have said:
if only the main-category is disabled the topics of an enabled subcategory are shown in recent

to hide these topics the subcategory must be disabled too

 

It has always been this way.
The “Folder” subcategory does not appear in the index because the parent category is missing, but you can still access the posts via the URLs or the “Current Topics” section.
The settings for the main category are not applied to the subcategories. This means that if you restrict access to an entire category to members, you must also do these settings to each subcategory.

ok, understanding
thanks
