Thanks Angie and Michelle for helping me understand! I thought it was some mysterious function I knew nothing about...</p> <p>thank you thank you... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-bumping#post-118692 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 02:53:42 +0000 Michelle 118692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carole, bumping is something we do if we want to draw attention back to a certain post that's no longer easily visible. E.G. if we posed a question for Angie but it moved off the main forum page before she could see it, you'd go back to the post and add a comment saying "bumping" so that it would reappear at the top of the forum and could therefore attract more responses. </p> <p>It's not a stupid question, btw. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-bumping#post-118691 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 02:53:20 +0000 Angie 118691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good question, Carol. And I had to get with forum lingo too, so I'm learning with you :0)</p> <p>"Bumping" means that you made a comment so that the thread is brought up to the top of the recent conversations queue. That way, the thread will get more responses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-bumping#post-118690 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 02:43:21 +0000 Carole 118690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is probably a dumb question, but what exactly is "bumping" and how and why do you do it? </p>
