Ouch! - that was never noticed but yes this is true. It was a result of re-organizing the code for the new navbar.
I have an easy fix and what should have been done. All the admin scripts include gf_functions.php in the admin/plugins/forum folder.
Add this code just below the include of lib-common
Text Formatted Code
if (!SEC_hasRights('forum.edit')) {
echo COM_siteHeader();
echo COM_startBlock($LANG_GF00['access_denied']);
echo $LANG_GF00['admin_only'];
echo COM_endBlock();
echo adminfooter();
echo COM_siteFooter(true);
exit();
}
Thanks for finding this
