Ifixit Answer Forum page sometimes different, is it server dependent?

Recently I've noticed that there can be a difference in the ifixit Answer Forum page presentation.

Usually it looks like this showing the number of questions asked and not answered for the past 24 hrs.

I think the servlet that does the count running on one of the servers crashed. Keep in mind there's more than one physical server sharing the load.

This is a caching bug of some sort. Whether or not that bar appears depends on a number of variables including language and location. Some of those variables get cached and shared between languages when they should not.

This bug's on our radar and we'll get it fixed. I'll post here when I have a status update. Thanks for looping us in!

Update (02/22/2018)

This should be fixed now!
