Lugignaf is correct :) To deal with the volume of traffic and keep the site running fast, we have multi-layered caching all around the site, which means some things take a bit of time to catch up, especially so when you're not logged in (members see significantly less cached content). Rest assured the numbers are all tracking and will catch up in time :)

I just remember making several posts and seeing the same number :\
