I have noticed an increase, could be back to school weeks but just seems a little more than usual.
No hard data other than me noticing.
A good thing if correct.

Yep, PF is very seasonal. Most universities came back for the spring semester this week.

I can say that the Mentors handled about twice the number of issues in January (so far) compared to all of December. Can we send all the students back home for some more holidays please...? :wink:

It's "Revelation" John only had one ;)

The reason I asked was, even taking into account return to Uni lads and lassies, I noticed a newbie increase asking questions of a non uni type.

Maybe my modification counts as a new revelation:biggrin:? I'll stop blaspheming now.
