Like usual I double check if they are in my que-group or are perhaps still in an old one. If they are in queue themselves when I invite to team that can cause problems as well.
I really cryptic did not break anything here. 5 man private is all fine and good but only covers half of my active gaming time at best.

Well if this is a bug and not a feature then I am sure a helpful moderator will move this thread over to the bug report forum, so making a duplicate post over there beforehand seems like it would create unnecessary clutter.
In the mean time I am interested in what peterconnorfirst stated:
This indicates that the system should be working just as it did in the past, which it wasn't for my friends and I this evening.
So for when this gets moved over to bug reports hear is exactly what we did.
I got online and invited three of my friends to a team, which they accepted. We chatted for a bit, not too long, and then I hit the random queue button. None of us had done a random before, and were interested in what we might get.
One of my team mates commented that they didn't seem to have been queued for anything, then the others confirmed the same.
The engage button appeared, and I confirmed that it only did so for me before declining.
So then I signed us up for a CE to test if it was just randoms we couldn't run together. Once again no one else got a notification that they were in queue. This time I clicked engaged and only I was pulled into the CE map.
When I got out we tried having other people sign us up as either squad or team leader, and once again the game only placed that person in queue, no one else.
So then we pulled in another friend so that we could have a full team and use the private queue function, which worked. BUT it only worked when we invited people as a queue group, the team group option just kicked every one else out of the queue group when we tried to use it.
Then after a few runs our 5th had to log for the night, so the remaining four of us were unable to run any more missions together.
I assumed there was some new way to use the queue interface which we had overlooked. The reason I thought this was because the forums weren't melting down.
I typically expect a lot of complaining on the forum, and this seemed like the sort of thing that would have set off the doom monkeys. But if this is actually a bug then I wonder why it targeted us, and not every one else. I am sure there would be more wailing and complaining if no one else could queue as a group.
... Also if this is a bug, and thus if a developer gets into the code to fix it, could they please remove the full team requirement for private queues. We used to be able to play some content with less then the max number of people and I would love to have that back.
I think I understand; Ever since they introduced the new queue UI we have trouble at timest that players you invite to a team also get invited to the queue group which is needed to successfully join more than one player into the same queue.
If you can please double check that you have the selection made that team invites automatically invite its members to your queue group.
When playing private at times the respective selection could still be on manual queue group assembly.
And even when it is set to team there is often a delay until all players accept not only the teaminvite but also the one to the queue group. One can check that with the lil green heads in the queue group ui. Only when they disappeared it is saving to queue.
No idea if there are additional issues around at the moment but at least for me that is the most important thing to pay attention to when lining up incomplete teams for public matches.

Seems like this was a bug then, because we all were in both the same team and the same queue group. We couldn't join anything when there was less then four of us in the queue group, everything was grayed out as a choice. and when we tried to sign up for non-private queues only the person hitting join was getting put in the que.
I hope it fixed soon! It is critical.
