Thanks, Nevets. This is being built on top of an existing site with and existing vocabulary that is already is use on far too many nodes to look at re-engineering not only the nodes, but the many queries as well. This vocabulary is the central driver on the site as each user belongs to one of its terms as well, and that is the link between a user and the primary content he/she sees. This linkage will be even more critical with this new stuff. And, BTW, the vocabulary terms do change twice a year. Nancy E.

Nancy An alternative approach is to use the content taxonomy module and instead of assigning the vocabulary to the additional content types, add a content taxonomy field instead (you probably want to set the flag that stores the values in the default taxonomy tables). This way the vocabulary can be required for the forums and optional for others. Nevets
