Yeah, I think something up, I have a tier 2 with 190 submitted, 1 verified. Another with 49 submitted, 1 verified. Then a Tier 3 with 2663 submitted, 2 verified. Pretty sure it wasn't that bad before this.
I think I read something about some changes to link verifying in 6.69.. maybe that has something to do with this.
I updated straight from 6.68 to 6.71 so I hoped this wouldn't occur.
I don't see any update at the moment . Hopefully links are there , jest doesn't show . Don't believe that they can be deleted at that speed on every level .
Happened on a few of my projects on different computers. One now showing just 19 verified where as before it was over 4000, another went from over 1000 to just 8, another from over 2000 to just 8 (and a few others).
Seems like it was just 2nd tier / 3rd tier projects though and I updated from 6.68 to 7.71 too
[Edit] Seems like the removed URLs are not being moved to the 'failed re-verification' list either, can anyone else confirm?
YES here too most T backlinks missing but I THINK it must have to do with recent "bug fix" or changes made by @sven = may be a new bud?
a very few days ago all was normal
I use same type of quality sites for my T as for projects count / RE-verification for projects look correct BUT RE-verifiation count for T about 10% of what they were a few days back
I have stopped SER completely until bug hopefully fixed by @sven several thousand verified lost
I check all possible ways and no way to see / recover the lost URLs that were good until last re-verification about 2 days ago (before the last several upgrades / fixes yesterday
also one other issue with counts (since longer) is:
in the main menu to number of submitted is much smaller = about 10-20% of the "submitted" than the projects "verified" count
expl one project:
submitted = 818 verified = 2426
that is valid for all, projects AND T may be entire counting process something wrong
I do the very same I use downtime to create more large lists using SB
to import I wait just in case the current bug does something bad to imported list ... may be sven unaware of bug as THIS thread NOT in bug section and OP not pinging sven ....
may be sven enjoying oktoberfest in Munich while we all down
@sven sorry for have to ask for more clarification, but what do we import them as? Target urls? There are a bunch of different importing options and I'm not sure which these links fall under.
i am also lost lot of links on t2/t3, actually all links except T1. In my case it was error message (when gsa was runned) "gsa have some error", select what you want to do - "continue, stop, exit, report to sven".
I selected continue and it closes after long time. Later after rerun, I have found what all my T2/T2J, T3/T3J, T4/T4J is empty (they was runned when gsa crashed)!
@sven please more precise description of procedure what, where, how to do to rescue the situation
with your above few words I went to projects
all done on stopped system /shut down then restarted again
emptied *.reverify_failed" file for each Tier pasted the content (the project file .prj has NO URLs) into the "success" file that was the only file that made somehow sense
then started SER again one of the T had increased count almost correct
started verification / reverification
the re-verification ran ONLY on OLD numbers i.e. xxx/182 re-verification ... instead the full number which should be like
xxx /2979 re-verification ...
also another damage left: ALL statistic data lost for Tiers, graphic output based on damaged data = near zero for past weeks
Well the reverify_failed file contains only the backlink URLs, no extra data. So it might be a bit difficult to recover its content. I will have to optimize the "Show verified URLs->right click->import verified urls" function a bit to have this working for tiers.
v6.73 will properly reverify imported links and recover all the data.

Got a backup from yesterday where the numbers still look pretty low, but not a whole column of zeroes...

I just ran SER to re-verify my 3 T1 (that's about 50 mins)
and ALL of the thousands of lost links are still missing ...
how to recover the lost links ?
a restore of the last backup (made before your first upgrade yesterday will miss the few thousand links made yesterday after upgrades made
hence a loss either way until there is a way to recover the lost links based on logs or what ever files
now all submissions stopped until all fixed

tested also on another T
same
all 3 T wrong data / numbers / statistics-graph

ok
1. does that mean the numbers in our current case are LOST ?
2. where and how to which file do we have to add the URLs found in ".reverify_failed"
to the success file or ???
3 if so direct in our projects folder or in the GUI ??
4. OR do we have to re-import and resubmit all again ?
currently SER still stopped until all clear, for now it looks all badly damaged
1. nothing is lost, just the date
2. show verified urls->right click->import verified urls->choose reverified_failed file + reverify
3. see 2.
4. see 2
ok now
tks
