Protected Forum Classification Missing?

[RazorSEdge]

In 3.4.x if we had a forum that could be viewed, but not the topics/posts, it would still show post count(s) and would say Protected Forum instead of the last post information.

Now, on 4.0.2, it does not display any post count and says "No Posts Here Yet".   How do I get it to show post count/protected forum again?  

By showing no post count and displaying No Posts Here Yet, it makes the site look DEAD, which is a very bad thing.  We have a need to have certain forums restricted from certain member groups and guests, but we want the post count to still be displayed like before so people know that there is activity going on.
