Oddity with thread post counts

I replied to this thread, and while my post shows up if you view the thread, the thread was not bumped and still shows zero replies. This has happened to me before, but it’s pretty odd. Is it common?

Umm, nevermind, it finally refreshed. Bizzare.

Of course, now I feel stupid. Yay.

From time to time, it takes a few seconds for the database to be updated. If traffic is high or you’re refreshing very quickly, the latest changes won’t be caught.

Uh huh. Suuuure.

Then why does it say I registered in June and have 232 posts, when in fact, I signed on in 1958 and have 47,391 posts?
