BTW,
1. I am running 4.7 2. There is no way I will be moving to 5 or 6 anytime soon (FYI for those who would dare to consider that a solution :) 3. I've never understood Drupal's logic of basing the queue on node types as opposed to user roles.

Good morning.
Here's a question dealing with node types.
I have had to parse out NODE TYPE ACCESS per ROLE. So my editors and front page contributors have access to the node type BLOG but members only have access to FORUM. I have done this because I could not find a way to queue posting to the front page based on ROLE, not on node type. So for example, I would have loved to give everybody access to the node type BLOG but only allow the roles "editors" and "contributors" immediate PROMOTE while putting the role "member" on QUEUE.
In trying to find a better way to deal with these PROMOTE issues, my earlier use of the node STORY muddled things further. At the beginning I was giving STORY to contributors --as a middle ground between only access to forum and having a blog. GRACK! I wish I had not done that.
I want to retire STORY but I can't because then everybody using those nodes would not have access to them. So I was wondering, can I just go into the DB (and in my case PATHAUTO) and change the type of STORY nodes into BLOG or is there anything else that I need to take into consideration?
Cheers, liza
