My trackback count on the dashboard radically dropped - to 50's from hundreds. Is it just a counter issue, or could I have "lost" the actual trackbacks?

Thanks a lot,
Zoli

Were some of them spam trackbacks? We regularly purge spam trackbacks that have made it through...

It happened to me today, too. I went from 16 trackbacks, none of them spam (been keeping up), to two trackbacks. I thought maybe you all purged the server logs or something...

No, John, not spam. I do delete/block spam from the trackback list (kinda wonder if blocking does any good), and it's the remaining "good" trackbacks that dropped down to 50-or so from I-don't-rememeber-how-many hundreds.

Thanks.

All but the 5 most recent of mine are gone, too. I don't think I would even have noticed, if zoli hadn't brought it up.

I'll see if I can find out anything about this.

Can anyone provide examples of URLs they are sure existed but have disappeared?

That's my point, John, I have no clue what's gone what's not, do not have any way of tracking them other than the control panel - until now, that is. All I know it was somewhere in the 3-400 (?) range and is now 58.

I do understand the difficulty in answering the question, I am simply trying to find some place for our admins to start looking...

I just used Google's cache to compare some articles with how Google recently indexed them and what they look like now, and I do see some differences... I've sent my findings to our admins for further investigation.
