Bumping - What Is It?

[mrs_overall]

If it says on a sites list of rules : "bumping - 3 times per post per day". What does it mean?
Thanks

It means adding to your post solely for the purposes of getting it back to the top of the list :)

Bumping is to bring a thread back to the top or back into latest posts.

If you haven't received an answer, or a useful answer, to your post and it has fallen out of the 'recent posts' box you can type 'bump' in your thread to bring it back into the recent posts box.

It means replying to your own question so that it stays on the latest posts mrs o.

Sharigan - thanks, but does that mean I can't add more than 3 replies?

[Psybbo]

Oh, I thought it was rude not to reply to answers

If you 'bump' a post it simply means to add another reply - thereby promoting the original thread back into the 'latest posts' chart.

Like I'm about to do with the AB Hotel (as a demo for you).

Unless it's gness, she bumps you with that bloody shopping trolley of her's ;-)

[sunny-dave]

Bumping is when you are not adding any useful info - just posting for the sake of it.

The site in question is a for sale/wanted site.
Does it mean that if 4 people replied to my ad, I could only reply to 3 of them?

[hc4361]

You can add as many meaningful replies as you like, but you can only bump your own thread 3 times per day.

Sorry if I seem thick....but I am lol

[sunny-dave]

I thought you were Les?

[Sharingan]

No not if it's a legitimate post, only if there were dust monkies and you posted simply to bump it back up to the top:)

[mrs_overall]

Right, I think I understand
Many thanks to you all xx

[tonyav]
