  • Just so you know, this is the Ask Ubuntu meta site, where we talk about Ask Ubuntu. Your rep is the same as that on the main site, and it doesn't change based on accepts / upvotes.

  • I guess this should have the tag support, not discussion (I’m not allowed to edit).

It is the number of new questions since you last refreshed the page.

This can be done either by reloading the page (e.g. with F5 in FireFox) or by clicking the grey X questions with new activity banner above the question list. Note that the second option does only load new questions, but does not actualize the state (votes, views, answers...) of the already shown ones.
