I simply noticed this by accident checking the visitor messages, but nevertheless it's out there...

Hmm... I actually don't see you belonging to any groups right now, Arjos (besides the two public ones you are in). I'm not totally sure on this, but I think perhaps you can only see other members if you are in the group yourself? I have been removed from two of the private forums, so that would explain it.

At the same time, though, I can't see the other two groups from my own profile, but I can see the Backroom.

I'm going to check up on this with the TA's and get back to you.

Ok, I completely removed that info box from the profile section. Doing this allows me to restore the ability for Gameroom Moderators to give access to those fora, while still keeping membership in those groups hidden. If you notice any information about membership in those groups being displayed anywhere else, please let me know immediately.
