Joseph Porta Posted October 5, 2000 Share Posted October 5, 2000 Hello, Me again with yet another tedious question about other treads. SORRY ! But : What is the point of 'Bump'ing a thread ?! Anyone ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveman Posted October 5, 2000 Share Posted October 5, 2000 A topic only stays at the "top" or first page if it's been posted to recently. If there's a topic with useful information that shouldn't be "buried" at the bottom of a page, or several pages down, some might post a reply that simply "bumps" it to the top of the forum. Some forums get pretty testy about this practice, but I guess it's acceptable here. ------------------ “Fortune favors the brave" - Terence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croda Posted October 5, 2000 Share Posted October 5, 2000 The most recently posted to threads float to the top. If you're thread hits page 2 then many people (I don't) bother to look past the first page. Posting a 'bump' message artificially gets your post to the top of page 1, where it will get more notice. People often do it if they have a message they really want people to see, or have a question that they want answered, but haven't heard anything yet. make sense?

Guest Der Unbekannte Jäger Posted October 5, 2000 Share Posted October 5, 2000 -BUMP- Everytime you post it makes the thread you are posting in move back up to the top on the forum because it has a new submission. So when you don't really have anything to say but you want to see results or answers to questions in a particular thread you just "BUMP" the thread back up to the top so people can see it and respond to it. Hope this helps ------------------ "I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend, to the death, your right to say it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
