Error with Managed Meta Navigation
Managed Naviagtion isn't support across multiple site collections. When you apply the same navigation to multiple site collection you will get a warning and break it in the first site collection!
If you need Managed Nav across site collections then the solution you should use is this one:

I've refreshed many times and it does seem to be more broken.. so something in the release has possibly caused an issue here, I'd be interested to hear if others have has issues lately as well..

- Pieter... can you confirm or clarify whether this means you can't have multiple term sets and associate each separate one with a different site collection?
You can have multiple naviagtion term set and apply each term set to a single site colelction. Rather than Waldek's solution this is quite a common way of managing the short comings of Managed Navigation
So if you had 4 site collections and 4 identical copies of a gloabl navigation termset. Then you could apply one term set to each site collection. This is however a bit painful as you would have to ensure somehow that the 4 termset remain the identical.
- Yeah I can see how that will easily end up being a PITA! cheers.
- thanks Pieter!
