I set my list to private archives today. Up until then, it was pubic. And yet, if you go to the list page, you will see that if you click archives (top left), you can see them. (Filled with a bunch of tests posts for now)
Yes, I can see it, and the posts. I think there was a bug that you can see that private lists are present even if you are not a subscriber. However the posts themselves were private. This is not that bug, it's something else.
Am I misunderstanding what a private archive is?
No (except for the bug mentioned above, which probably will be fixed -- the logic is nontrivial, since admins need access to the list of lists, but maybe not private lists they're not owners of, even if they're not subscribers).
Is something wrong with my setup (which is hosted)?
Don't know yet. Some configuration changes require a server restart. I don't know offhand if this is one. It's worth a try if you can do that.
