Numbers on Quick Links

I'm trying to figure out what the numbers next to the "Quick Links" mean. None of these are close to what I would've expected. Can someone unravel this puzzle for me, please? :)

    I think the numbers represent threads. The number next to "My Bookmarks" I expect represents 9 threads, which for me shows correctly. I don't think all of the threads display correctly for every category, possibly because the information from the old forums doesn't carry over perfectly into the new forums.

    Thanks, Aaron. That's what I thought it was supposed to be, but clicking my 9 "bookmarks" only shows 5. And of those 5, 3 are from 2014 and haven't received a comment from anyone since then.

    Maybe the numbers are correct, but maybe the link's ability to pull up the relevant things that the count represents is not. In any case, it's not helpful as it is. The other numbers (My Posts, Open Questions, etc.) seem similarly non-representative.

    Open Questions has been consistently accurate for me. Are you sure the count is off for you? I have no hope for My Posts. That one probably got very confused in the switch. I believe the number to be accurate, just with an incomplete displayed list of threads.

    You might try removing all the bookmarks from your My Bookmark page and see if that resets the count. You can do that straight from the My Bookmark page by clicking the blue flag and then refreshing.

    The numbers have been hit and miss accurate for me - for example the My Bookmarks has 5 active bookmarks visible but under Quick Links states 16
