We actually have three groups… one public and two private (two of them set up for testing purposes). The “test group” there now is public. The private groups are not showing up in the drop-down menu when you go to post a new topic in the Group Forums Directory at the “Forums” tab. We found this previously submitted ticket (Ticket #2072) about this issue:

I’m not doing anything wrong, it turns out. This is just the way BP is designed. You’d think if you were signed in, and you belonged to a private group, that they would let you have access to that group when posting from the Group Forums Directory! This should not be considered an “enhancement” at all. It’s just poorly designed and illogical… Go figure.
