Kwaj girl, your browser preferences are probably not set to load the latest version each time you load a page. You most likely are not receiving the latest version of the page but instead are loading an earlier version stored on your hard drive from a previous visit or perhaps an earlier version stored on your internet provider's local server.
Simply use the "Refresh" function for your type browser and that should load the latest version. To avoid having to do this each time, you would need to change your browser preferences and set it to check for newer versions with every visit to the page.
Here are a few previous FlyerTalk threads on your situation:

OK...we tried the "refresh"...all that did was take us back 2 pages to the FlyerTalk Miles page. We tried "shift refresh" with the same result. We emptied all temp internet files and tried again...still no luck. Funny, we can read ALL replies on all other topics...just THIS one doesn't come through.

Kwaj girl, try instead using the following link to start your FlyerTalk journey and then proceed to the various forums. This should avoid the situation of taking you back two pages whenever you choose to refresh the various pages.

Or, here is a direct link to your thread, Gold Elite Priority Line.

I have this similar problem when I am at work because of the proxy server.
I find that by opening the link by using the right mouse button and the command [Open in new window] I am able to then refresh this new window without having to go back to go and then finding all the "new" pages still have not refreshed.
This is the only way it will work for me with proxy server and I have tried all the other suggestions.

These are all great suggestions and feedback items... thanks for passing this info along.
It seems that the cause of these "missing post/wrong post count" problems originates because of either a proxy server storing an older version of a page, or the end-user's browser doing the same...
Again, thanks for the backup on these.

Magic111....I think you've defined the problem since it's a proxy-server thing for us, too. Our web access is the same at home as at work, but I WAS able to access the replies from my work computer!
Thanks to all for your input.
