Bumping

[costagirl]

Sorry to be thick but someone has 'bumped' my message on another thread - what does it mean?! Don't know where to look!

When somebody posts on a thread it sends it back in to active convos for a couple of minutes.

The most recently posted on threads appear in Active (as it's now called)

Just means they are bringing it back to the top of the list, so more people see it!

Bumping can also mean 'I have no sodding idea but someone else might if I pop it to the top of the list so there'.

The opposite is which means 'I am bumping this simply so others may mock your post in a condescending manner because it's total codswallop'

.

I just bumped your thread

I always wondered what meant

Puzzlerocks is the best bumper I know

Yes indeed, twas Puzzlerocks that bumped it for me, still can't find the blardy thing, will go through active again!! Thank you for your help.

No, dimwit still hasn't got the hang of bumping. So if Puzzlerocks bumped it but it's not in the top 50 active convos, is it just in original place? Feel free to sigh and tut, I know this is painful.

It only stays in active convos until other messages posted afer it.
These will precede it iygwim!

Mmmm (pretending she understands). Ok, thanks. How do you bump a message?

bump

Say there are 25 posts on an active board(which are actively being typed on)
every time someone posts a new one , starts a new thread etc the posts move down and post 25 drops off active convos

By bumping (typing anything) you put your post back in active convo

you can post anything it will put it at number 1 in active convo then it will move down again

????

here?
Also bumped it!

costagirl - very simply you either post the word 'bump' or a smiley etc.

When I first started here I thought it was someone announcing their pregnancy and kept saying 'congratulations'

God I feel so thick. 2 degrees and this is completely beyond me. So if I want to bump a post, I just type bump? I'll give it a try!

for wmmc

If you click on I'm on at the top of this/any talk page you'll get a list of all the threads you're on. I Started is the threads you started.

Read this...

Yes Costagirl - you've got it!

Oh and FWIW I thought you meant you were hard of thinking because it was cold where you are (2 degrees)

bump is also an acronym for Bring Up My Post

you can bring a post up to the top of active convo's by typing on it

...although all threads that are posted on are brought to the top of active convo's, not just the 'bumped' ones

bumping - where's Puzzlerocks?
