Discrepancies between Discussion and Main User on Area 51

Question

There a ton of discrepancies between my discussion user profile and my main user profile on Area 51.

The Discussion user page states I have 2 profile views, 2 badges, visited 10 days, and been a member for 3 months (at the time of writing this).

The Main user page states I have 5 profile views, 4 badges, visited 32 days, and been a member for 2 months (at the time of writing this).

Is this by design or a bug?

Answer 1

It's by design. Statistics are captured independently for Area 51 proper and the Discussion site, and each site additionally has its own distinct set of badges ^{[1], [2]} (which sometimes causes confusion).
