I looked at GWT last week now my back links are 54?

My question is that I used to have about 500 great quality back links from blogs, government and universities. Then I wrote on two health forums once each and all of a sudden my back links went up to 2, 000. I wrote them to delist me without any response. When I looked at Google Webmaster last week now my back links are 54. What happened and how do I fix it? Thanks, Teri

Tony McCreath: It seems GWT is having some problems at the moment so don`t worry about lost links there. If you posted on a forum can`t you remove those links yourself?
Jamie Strothmann: Google Webmaster currently has a bug in their backlinks report. A lot of our sites have dropped tremendously. I would check back in a week here is an article that explains it - http://searchengineland.com/google-webmaster-tools-links-to-your-site-reporting-bug-163753
