Fix dual categorized questions so they appear on the question list for experts of the "second category" Also work around in the meantime.
I asked to have this checked because as far as I am aware it has never showed up on the new Pearl question list. Then on 3-30-14 a dual categorized question came up on the desktop notifier but it did not appear on the Pearl question list and no email was ever received for the question. Thus if it wasn't seen on the notifier, no one would know it was even there to answer the question.
I have a workaround that might work but mods would need to try it to see if it would work. The work around would be to change the category to the new category and not dual cat it and then dual categorize it with the original category. This should at least have it appear on the Pearl question list and maybe get an email to category experts and the question answered. However, it will probably then not show up on the Pearl list for the original category. If it is being dual categorized due to not being properly categorized, then that should be ok. If dual categorized due to not being answered in the first category for a significant period of time, it shouldn't be an issue either and they should have already gotten an email for the question. .
