Suddenly my url's have underscores and numbering in them like this:
index.php/news/events__1/concert
Does anyone know why and how to get rid of them? Thanks for any help.

Hi,
probably you have to objects in your news folder called events. The double underscore and the numbering is the way to distinguish them...
Have a nice day

Look for a script in /update/common/scripts/ called updateniceurls.php. The __1 is created when two items with the same name/url_alias are created, but often the original is removed and you are left with ugly URLs.
updateniceurls.php is a script that will recreate the URLs and get rid of any __1s where there is no longer a duplicate.

Thanks a lot for your help. I probably did have two nodes with the same name at first and deleted one of them and I did not know about the updateniceurls.php script.
I have cleared the trash (as I read somewhere else this could be of influence), cleared the cache, run the script, cleared the cache again, but nothing happened. The script showed me a nice dotted progress bar, no errors anywhere, no logfiles. I have forced it to look at my site_access with the -s switch. I would like to know what went wrong in my Exponential 3.6.2/suse 9.3/mysql 4.1.15-nt installation. Could it be a buggy.
I did a little trick to solve it for now: just renamed events to event and then back to events again.
