Incoming links part disappeared

[Jelena]

When I log in into my WP admin section, Incoming links part disappeared. Right now, it only shows:
Comments
Posts
Blog stats
Spam

I had Incoming Links there as well, but now they are gone. Anyone have an idea what might have happened?

Mine takes a few seconds to appear (as there are alot of links listed) could this be the case for you. Give it a few seconds to show up.

Sometime it is just the case of them not loading. You can always try logging out & logging back in.

It's the same for me plus the "news" items that come from Planet Wordpress are also missing in action occasionally. This has happened in the past.

I do know by doing some testing on WordPress 2.3 beta 1 that the new version is no longer doing it's "Incoming Links" from Technorati but rather from Google's Blog Search. It seems that Technorati has been having a lot of problems lately including dropping long time, high ranking sites from their directory for no reason and Tecnnorati's people refusing to respond to feedback and emails inquires about this. This might be the reason for the links missing in action but it wouldn't explain why the "news" at the bottom is missing also.

If these feeds are routed through WordPress.org or a related server which feeds site specific search parameters through to Technorati and ports the results back to your blog's admin (so it's your incoming links rather than someone else's) and the server was having problems, that would explain the missing feeds.

Just wait awhile...they'll be back. :p

They do that every once in a while for me too, actually atleast once a day. That is interesting find Kirk that it is going to be switching to Google Blog Search. I guess Technorati's problems been going on toooooooooooo long.

Definitely very interesting Kirk.

Thanks all for the info.

For now, they still don't appear even if I wait longer.

[Kirk M]

Okay, they're back for me and have been since this morning. How about you Jelena?

They disappear for at least an hour or so on me each day.

What's worse is that if you load the actual technorati page for your blog, they sometimes disappear from there as well. :(
