Default Bump?

Hey y'all,

OK, OK, so I'm not that versed in all this modern cyber lingo (I do know what LOL is though... ) but... something I see quite often through some threads... what is "bump"? What does it mean when folks write just that?

They are just trying to move that post up higher so people will see it. (They are "bump"ing it up.)

Usually used in the Urgent section, all it does is "BUMP", the post back to the top of the list.

It's also good for those of us who tend to mostly hang out in the ' Active Topics' section.

That way the post goes to the top of the first page and is the first of the probably 10 pages to come!
