Bumping Threads

yeah I ofetn see posts with nothing but 'bump' typed into them whats the give? From what i guess, a person types a post with 'bump' in it and a mod bumps the topic to top of the list....?

noobish question, but I can't find answer explained anywhere so yeah....

 

It isn't the actual phrase 'bump' that bumps it. It's the whole post. The newest posts are at the top of the list, and 'bump' is just a word to show that you're bumping. Mods don't do anything.

 

example, when you are selling a job, and nobodies buyit, you can say BUMP twice in 24 hs ... typing BUMP, you "wake up" the thread, and too much people can see it again..

sorry for my english ...

do u understand ?

 

So to make an older topic back up at the top of the list, I would just post into it? And people just use the phrase 'bump' to show that that's the point of their post?

 

Got it in one
