I keep missing the OP in a thread and some complete threads -

I'm using OE6 - would that be it? Would I be better off using

read NG's?

Could be a combination of a short keep-time on your news server and
a
not-regular-enough connect frequency by you. If your news server
only
keeps messages for e.g. 3 days after arrival you need to connect at
least this frequently to not miss posts (or change news server).

OTOH, does OE perhaps have an automatic deletion schedule? E.g
perhaps it deletes read posts after 5 days. If so that may be
removing the earlier posts in a thread.

If none of the above applies, you could try changing news server
anyway.

TOOLS OPTIONSMAINTENANCE and you then have a box to set the period
before deletion
