I have re-installed a brand new stand alone version 2.3 of Classifieds and it is still the same.

Set up a category so only registered people can see it, and it disappears from unregistered viewers OK, but then hit the 'show all' button and the categories that shouldn't be seen, are listed.

This means that the private categories get listed on all the search engines as well because the link on 'show all' will allow the search engines to look at it with out a password.

This is a major problem for my site as parts of it need to be confidential.
