OSE Advanced Reports - behaving inconsistently
-
Yesterday, there was an error message on the Advanced Reports tab in OSE:
"Oops! It looks like our system is temporarily down. Please check back soon."
That cleared up after a couple of hours. After that, I ran an Advanced Report that I run on occasion, and it only returned 3500 links, whereas it normally returns around 23K. Since then, I've run the same report 9 times in total over the course of about 1 day, and each time the number of links keeps increasing. 3500, 10150, 21550, 25400, 28650, 35450, 37400, 38200, 50375.
I'm wondering what is happening? I want to do some evaluating of my backlinks, however I'd prefer to work on a "complete" list of links and the number of links keeps going up, when generating reports using the same criteria. When can I expect Advanced Reports to be "stable" where it's producing roughly the same number of links?
Also, I opened up a support ticket on this with Moz.com over 24 hours ago, and haven't received any response. I've updated the ticket 2 times now, but no response. Disappointing they are not responding to support tickets.
Thanks.

Hi there!
My name is Erin, and I'm on the Help Team here at Moz. Thanks for writing in to Q&A! I appologize that it took us so long to respond to your initial support email! We always aim to get back to folks as soon as we can, but we've been a little slammed lately. It looks like our amazing Mozzer Alliancer Annette followed up with you on Friday afternoon, and I'll be taking this request over from here. Our engineers are currently looking in to this. I'll follow up with you via email as soon as I have more information.
Cheers!
Erin

Https in Top Pages Report
Our site migrated to https a year ago but when I ran the Top Pages report, it's listing only http URLs. 1. Why is it only listing http URLs? 2. I'm interested to see which ones 301 redirects to https and which are 200. How can I do this? Thanks!

Why is OSE showing a higher Domain Authority than Moz?
Moz has today run monthly reports for 2 of my clients' sites. For both of these, the Domain Authority reported on the Moz dashboard is several points lower than that shown by OSE today for the same sites. Why would that be?

When is OSE updated?
Hey there, It clearly stands that OSE will be updated, well yesterday... on 21th April. In my experience, they usually update the date if they have technical issues or something... ...but now they haven't yet made any changes.

Loving the new OSE integration!
Finally, OSE is now like "integrated" in Moz! And it looks awesome. Not only from a design perspective, but also, I think all the login issues in that past I was having are now solved! Nicely done Moz!

More and more sites are switching to full HTTPS and support for this has been asked and responded upon for over two years. Thanks for any updates.
