Occasionally a topic’s autoloading ajaxification will skip a post, and when it does it never recovers and loads it.  
Since the topic is-read is based on the last post # you’ve read, you’ll never find out that you had skipped a post unless you either 1) get a notification because the skipped post was actually a reply to you, or 2) click the link icon to make sure every single ajaxed post loads in sequence without skipping a post id.  
The only way I’ve found to recover the skipped post is to do a full page refresh.

When the topic gets a post that skips a post\_id and is a fresh post (because old posts potentially were deleted, so skipping an id is not an error in that case), then it should re-query the server to verify that the id it missed should actually have been skipped… Or at least do SOMETHING to maintain synchronization.
