Every evening (particularly at weekends) lots of questions appear in the 'unanswered questions' pane but, when you click on them, the page with the question on doesn't exist.
It happened a short while ago to a question (intended for the 'Road Rules' subsection) about HGV speed limits, and there have been several others like that tonight. Yesterday somebody tried at least four times to post a question about using PayPal to purchase food; the questions kept appearing in the 'unanswered questions' pane, but they never showed up in 'Food & Drink'.
I've contacted the technical team about this in the past, but they simply attributed it to people getting banned. (That's clearly absolute rubbish, since you've not been banned and I very much doubt that people posting questions about speed limits or PayPal have been banned).
I'll send the techies a link to this thread, but don't hold your breath for any improvements!

Hi PT:
I wouldn't be at all surprised to find that the people who posted those HGV and PayPal questions have also found that AB's system has 'banned' their questions (increasing their 'banned' total on their profile), due to a technical error rather than due to any actual objections to the posts.
Anyway, I've already sent my moans, with a link to this thread, to AB's techies. (On some evenings, 20 or 30 questions can appear in the 'unanswered questions' pane, but never make it to the relevant sections).
