Deleted answer breaks inbox menu?

The only reason I can think of as to why you'd end up on your profile is that the inbox itself links to your profile. That is, the button on the topbar is also a link to your global inbox on your ...

Bad links in Footer

No message or voting notifications

How did a question get migrated to IoT from here?

Why does the question list show "0" for this already-answered question?
