| Bump..... Sorry to sound like a heathen, but i keep seeing that people sometimes reply to messages with the word BUMP.  Sorry, but i don't understand why. Is there a secret meaning that i don't know?

| Re: Bump..... It moves their thread back up to the top of the list of topics in that forum and will also make it show up on "new posts" searches. Gets them a bit more attention

| Re: Bump..... Its mainly used to force a thread back up to the top of a page or back into the new posts. Not generally considered acceptable, but can be tolerated in some classified threads for example. EDIT - Damn it, too slow. |

| Re: Bump..... Generally accepted if you were promoting a 'meet' of somekind, helps to boost the numbers. Frowned upon as said before if used for self gain.

| Re: Bump..... I don't remember anyone being criticised for an occasional bump though doing it every hour or so would be annoying.
