Private groups do not show in forums directory for members of that group. Is there a way to fix this?

WP/BP versions? Is this an old upgraded installation or a new installation? Have you tried basic troubleshooting like changing to bp-default theme and deactivating all plugins except BuddyPres to see if issue is corrected?

It is the regular WordPress version 3.3.1 using a new install of Buddypress 1.5.4. This issue occurs even with the default theme activated and with all other plugins deactivated.
