If a user tries to access a thread that they do not have permission to, then there should be a message indicating so. Simply dumping the user to the forum index is extremely unhelpful.
One example would be the Rants forum. It's now only visible to logged-in users. If you try to access the forum otherwise, then you're redirected to the forum home page without an explanation. A message like "You need to be logged in to see this forum" would be a lot more useful.

Ah, yes, an error message might be helpful there.
You get an error message when e.g. trying to view a thread that's past page 50, quite helpful!
Life is like a camera: Just
focus
on what's important,
capture
the good times,
develop
from the negatives, and if things don't work out,
take another shot
