BUMP! What does it mean!

[tradingspaces]

Sorry for being igornant but I see this word "bump" all the time and I'm not sure what it means. I am assuming that it means that you are changing the subject of the originally thread? Anyone please.

 

Thanks

Laura,

 

On these boards to bump means to move a thread to the top of the list. For example if I posted a thread and I had a small amout of responses and the thread went went to page 5 after a few days, I could bump it and move it to the top of the list on page 1. It is just a way to re-introduce a thread. Hope that helps!

When you bump a thread, it means that you are moving it to the top of the page. This is so more people can notice it, as the longer it goes without a response the less likely some people will see it.

So by just replying to a thread causes it to go to the top of the new posts or whatever category it is in. Make sense?:)

Glad you asked. I wanted to know too. By bumping, I thought you were also waiting for an answer to the question asked.:o
