No, all posting does that.

Bump is an acronym for Bring Up My Post.

I knew all posting does that it is just that “bump” is meant exclusively for that purpose. Also, I forget what “bump” stood for. lol ;D

Yes, what he said. And it is reall only nessasary on the BST section of the forum if it is your thread. You can only bump once a day. :wink:

You can do it on any thread even though it’s not a BST. And you can only bump your own thread. When somebody is not on for a while, you might be nice an say FREE BUMP. And yes, it stands for: Bring Up My Post.
