It may have dropped 10-15% in the last 3 months or so, but that's it.

I've seen reports that there is some jumping around in Google right now with both PR and rankings. Hold tight, and keep us posted.

I agree with Brian, don't pay to much attention to PR, traffic is the statistics you should watch

AFAICS you are not alone. My forum pr 4->3 and I have seen other sites dropping as well. Like briansol implied: ignore it, visual pr is not that important. Unless you have used black hat SEO, you shouldn't worry about it.

A positive note is that other sites report the same. I'm sure it's an algorithm tweak.

Nope, I haven't made any changes in probably over a year.

On a positive(?) note, I noticed the same thing has happened to vbseo.com

Re: Positive Note

Yes - if they adjust the algorithm, and it applies to everyone then it's not a big deal.

Say for instance they were using a scale of 1 to 10 and you were ranked 8, and then decided to go to a scale of 1 to 5, and you got adjusted to 4. That's kind of the idea. The algorithm can change the numeric meaning, so a drop doesn't necessarily mean anything negative. Everyone got adjusted. 4 seems like it's less than 8. It is numerically less, but it's actual meaning in terms of SEO need not be a reduction at all.
