ABT is great. Simple.

I set it up and found it wasn't working at first. The root cause of my issue appears to have been that I used two different fields (term reference) each configured to point to terms of a single vocabulary.

That didn't work but when I forced the User Profiles and my particular content type to actually share the exact same field, then it started working.

If that is how this module is intended to be used, I would change the following section of the README.txt

3. Create fields:
- Add a "Term reference" field instance to the content type(s) you want to control.
- Add a "Term reference" field instance to the user.

to say...

3. Create fields:
- Add a "Term reference" field instance to the content type(s) you want to control.
- Add "Term reference" field instance to the user.

Thanks for the great module.

I was pulling my hair out with this one, thanks so much for this post!

In my opinion you need to be VERY simple for us idiots (myself included)

maybe something like:

3. Create fields:
- Add a "Term reference" field instance to the content type(s) you want to control.
- Add the exact same "Term reference" field instance to the user (if you do not use the exact same field it will not work)

Great module! Works perfectly!
