Is it my imagination or have the PF journals died since the site upgrade? (fewer posts, fewer views, almost no comments)
Seems like it was on the upswing not too long ago.

Is the PF Journal Traffic Decline Real?
- Thread starter Phobos
- Start date
In summary, the conversation is about the decrease in activity on PF journals since the site upgrade. The poster mentions that they post in their journal every day and wonders if the "Read Journal" link was always under the poster's name. Another user clarifies that this link only exists for members who have journals and the original poster mentions not always seeing the link under their own name. The conversation then shifts to the time and a joke about needing to buy a watch.

I post in my journal every day!
Edit: Before the upgrade was there always a "Read Journal" link under the posters name? I've noticed that somtimes it's there while other times it's not.

To prevent journal traffic drop-off, it is important to regularly assess and improve the quality of content, ensure that the website is user-friendly and technically sound, and actively promote the journal through various channels such as social media and email marketing. Collaborating with other reputable journals or organizations can also help increase visibility and attract new readers.
