In Google Webmaster Tools??? I think you need to verify ur site before you can see the inlinks from within Google Webmasters....
Whoa, I was reading it wrong. Its update on SE and not in webmaster tool Yeah i can see a massive increase, almost 6 times from the original number Google anyways shows only about 5% of the original links

This actually does seem like the case. I know at least one of my sites' backlinks match to what they did then. Odd... about 80-90 additional backlinks as of today for all of my sites.
Thanks for pointing this out. I previously had about 100 backlinks in Google, then during the update 3 months ago, it jumped to about 200. Just had a check now, and its over 700. Nice jump for me there. Just seen that I now have some backlinks in Google from this very forum - I never had any of those before !!
Not really. My backlinks have been updated throughout the entire lifetime up my site. Only my PR recently got updated obviously.
