A 'Bump' is a reply that is posted for the sole purpose of making it active and returning it to the list of active topics. Since most people only look at the new posts, by bumping a thread a user may give that thread some extra exposure.

You can bump a thread by simply posting *Bump* and then posting something relevant to that thread to get past the minimum character limit.

You generally have to wait atleast 24 hours before bumping your own thread.

i think you still can bump it if you do have something to post isnt it? because i do see ppl doing it that way...let say like putting (after 2 hours) above their post..

Yeah, if you really have something important to say. But bumping is usually done if it's really important.

If your post is the last in the thread and you have something to add to it within the 24 hour limit then just use the edit button. If someone else replied to your thread then you are free to reply again.

Like Arthur said, unless its important don't bump a thread.

thanks toxic, and as long its not a spam i know mods and admin would not give it a warning. its all depend on the situation, and we all know hw to think, and we can see it the purpose when he did the post..

I think that you can bump a topic by just posting the word **BUMP** to ensure that many people see your topic ....

Although you can also add more content to make more meaningful...
