Randy of course has the exact figures, and the alexa ones as they themselves say are only indicative.

This Forum of course has had visitor traffic 30 or whatever times normal lately, but there might be some special reason for that??

However jfe and I were discussing these alexa stats on another thread and he made an excellent point. Some of the new FT features such as 'email advice on new posts' means you do not now need to click that forum to see a new post. That keeps the user in touch, but does not give FT website the previous viewing "hit".

10,000 of those emails a day for instance means one imagines typically 10,000 less Forum 'hits' or page visits on the alexa stats. More efficient use of FT however for the user. ^

Like jfe I think this feature is a major improvement over the old FT.

For instance I have never ever posted (AFAIK) in the Japan Airlines Forum until yesterday. My post there will generate an auto response when anyone replies, saving me dropping in now and again to see if there are responses.
