Well... 'one swallow does not make a summer'. We'll see what the stats are like after this month.

I have to admit though that I too noticed how the forums have become busier since the changes were implemented.

It is not one swalowe that bryngeth in somer. It is not one good qualitie that maketh a man good.

[1539 R. Taverner tr. Erasmus' Adages 25]

One swalow maketh not sommer.

[1546 J. Heywood Dialogue of Proverbs ii. v. H3]

One Swallow doth not make a Summer.

[1659 J. Howell Proverbs (English) 11]

One foul wind no more makes a winter, than one swallow makes a summer.

[1844 Dickens Martin Chuzzlewit xlii.]

One or two alfresco afternoons in the garden under the supervision of Ord and Demmy did not spell liberation any more than one swallow made a summer‥

[2000 ?G. Williams? Dr. Mortimer and Aldgate Mystery (2001) xiv. 78]

It has seemed somewhat busier of late; the trend that I saw was that quite a few topics were receiving far more replies than the usual average! Perhaps my imagination...? By the tone of your reply it would seem that there was/is concern that there are not enough people posting, or is this not really the case?

Look at the board stats for the past months - numbers were going down. What I was trying to say is that the numbers seem to go back up after the latest changes; however I reserve the final judgment until we know the numbers for the whole month of May as opposed to the data for just one good day.

I think the forum re-shuffle has really helped. It is easier to find the things that interest me now and I don't have to go around digging for it. It took a day or so to get use to considering how long we've had it the other way, but the changes were definitely for the better.
