View Full Version : Bumping Question... MagicMonkeys 06-05-2007, 01:50 AM I have a question about bumping: Can bumping only happen if you haven't posted/edited or viewed the thread. Please explain the full way. I've never understanded bumping... mrmyth 06-05-2007, 03:04 AM You may reply to your own thread or any other after someone else has posted on it. If nobody has posted on your thread, you must wait 24 hours before replying on it. MLKnCookies 06-05-2007, 03:23 AM oh i understand now SpinMarty 06-05-2007, 05:00 AM If you have a thread that you feel needs to be "bumped" or brought back to the top of the list, then you may do so ONLY after a 24 hour period. If you merely need to add more information, are the last poster in that thread and it has not been 24 hours then you may use the "edit" button. We prefer bumping to occur in the trading threads mostly but exceptions are made in the Arts and other forums. (I now sit back and wait to see if Batleth comes up with a more elegant and enlightening response :rolleyes:) MagicMonkeys 06-05-2007, 02:08 PM Okay- So what I don't get is-What if I want to bump up an old Guest Room thread? Do the same rules apply? SpinMarty 06-05-2007, 02:53 PM you would be fine Orangemarker 06-05-2007, 03:46 PM Thank you for clearing this up SpinMarty, I didn't understand bumping either. Neoteny 06-05-2007, 04:00 PM I understand bumping, but I still want to read Batleth's version, because he's so good at explaining stuff. Hehe. MagicMonkeys 06-05-2007, 04:01 PM I understand bumping, but I still want to read Batleth's version, because he's so good at explaining stuff. Hehe. Yeah. Let's see what he can add on to SpinMarty's. I understand it now. Batleth 06-05-2007, 05:10 PM Thought this topic was pretty clearly defined in Clarification on Bumps (http://www.vmkforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24152&highlight=bump) and Changed Rule Regarding Bumping Threads (http://www.vmkforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11386&highlight=bump), myself.

Aww. That's not the wonderful Batleth explanation we've come to know and love. crushandgush 06-06-2007, 09:36 PM Aww. That's not the wonderful Batleth explanation we've come to know and love. LOL^, you can bump every 24 hours so if you posted at 6:00a.m. you can bump AT 6:00A.M the next day. |
