I have a Members role, that should have access to the forum (by access I mean they cannot see any forum areas or post) they can only see the list of categories, but when I add a user to the Members access via the website using

Roles.AddUserToRole(userName, roleName);

They still have no access to the forum and when I check their roles in the forum area the Members role is not selected.

Though the forum admin area for the roles says Members (Linked)

Am I missing something?
