Hi Carin,
Thanks for the reply!
I have a few meetings today, but I will dig out the example this evening, and fire over by tomorrow morning at the latest, via email.
Thanks again for your reply and your help - it is much appreciated!

Hey Mike,
I'm sorry you're so frustrated with the issues in the index lately - I know it's an inconvenience, but, I assure, you the team has been working all hours to work out these kinks!
In fact, after many nights and weekends sacrificed, we're looking at probably being early on our next release. The bugs will be much less evident in this next index as the stale crawl data is dropped from the index.
I know that doesn't help you out right now. Can you send me some details on the corruption you're seeing? A full OSE link with all the parameters would be perfect as well as a CSV, if you have one. If you don't feel comfortable posting in Q&A, please email me at [email protected].
This sounds like the same bug we saw emerge in this index, and have since fixed, but I want to make sure that is the case.
Again, I'm really sorry for the inconvenience and frustration this is causing - we are working hard at ironing out these final issues!
Thanks,
Carin -
Quick question regarding this issue (I also saw the corrupted anchors)...
Now when I view anchors to a URL in OSE, the data still looks corrupted, but even stranger, when I create a .csv download, the data is very different, with different anchors!
Is this a new issue, or just a variation of the existing one?
I have several reports that I need to create, and they require the OSE anchors data... Any ideas on when there will be a fix for this, as 'soon' isn't a good thing to tell our clients
To be honest, I love SEOMoz, but I really think that as this is a paid membership that is also targeted at professionals, then there should have been email updates etc about this issue, to keep us all in the loop... Come on Moz team, you can do better feedback than this, I know you can coz your great!

This just came to our attention yesterday and our engineers have been investigating over the weekend. It appears to be fallout from the parsing bug that caused the initial delay of this index launch.
We're still investigating, but we do have another index in the works, with the parsing bug no longer present. We hope to have this ready in the next two weeks. In the meantime, we're looking into how we can remedy this current anchor text portion.
If you would like to read more about the parsing bug, Phil provided a great explanation in the forum article here.
Sorry for the inconvenience this will cause - we're looking into ways to remedy this as soon as we can!
Thanks,
Carin -
I'm also seeing the same. Checked on several sites and they all had this issue.

Same here - very odd.

Linkscape API having bugs
Hi, We are using the SEOMOZ Linkscape API (url-metrics and links) but the the API is not working well. We are sometimes (without any proveable reason) getting an http error with code 401.
