This could be a minor bug, or maybe some cache issue, but I wanted to highlight that there is a count mismatch when we check the unanswered questions from the "Questions" tab, "Unanswered" sub-tab and the "Unanswered" tab. If this is not a bug, then I would like to know what is the difference between these two tabs.

"Questions" tab, "Unanswered" sub-tab

Unanswered tab

    Note: 421 853 - are questions with no upvoted answers (at least on the picture). It's not the same as all unanswered questions.

  • @beryllium - Its the same. If you check the tooltip on the First image in SO, then you will find it says "question with no upvoted answers"

  • On SE sites, unanswered questions is used to mean questions with no up-voted answers. This includes also questions without answers, since a question without answers doesn't have any up-voted answer.

It seems the pages are cached differently, as I see the same value for both the pages.

  • Its different at different times. I believe when there are new questions coming in at same time, the counts mismatch due to caching I believe. You can check after sometime again, that counts will again mismatch

    That is because the pages are cached differently. What I mean is that the pages take their data from different caches, which are then rebuilt in different times (or set as invalid in different times).
