Automatically join a group when post a post on group's public forum using buddypress 1.2.5
Is this behavior normal? When a user sign up with buddypress 1.2.5, or a user that is already sign in, he/she has not yet joined the group, goes to a group forum, adding a post on the group forum, he/she suddenly is becoming a group member of that forum's group. Is it normal? I thought a user has to join the group first before he/she can post anything on a group's forum, and to think of a user just have to post a post on a group's forum to be automatically joined the group is a little different from what buddypress 1.2.4.1 behaves. So is this a new feature of buddypress 1.2.5, or it's a bug?

@argh2xxx: If you can replicate using the default theme then yes it's either a bug or a change to the core. However you'd need to test that and also check you've not unchecked a setting that could be doing this or are using a plugin that is causing this. Best method of determining bugs is to put on the default theme test without anything and see. If it is something you think is a bug you can report it over at the BuddyPress site.
no its normal
3 options :
Public group => auto join on post
private group=> must ask for join or be invited
secret group=> well, secret group (must be invited)
this is the way buddypress works :)
