Bumping

Am I allowed to “bump” threads here? Or am I thinking of another board? Just want to make sure before I go too far.

FAQ - guidelines for posting at the SDMB

*Originally posted by Arnold Winkelried *
If you start a thread, and after a while think you would like more comments on it, you may be tempted to “bump” the thread by adding a post to make the thread reappear back at the top of the forum list. We strongly discourage this practice, but since the boards are so busy sometimes a single “bump” will bring about good results. Our guidelines:
[list=A][li]Wait until a suitable time has elapsed (at least until your thread is no longer visible on the first page of the forum)[/li][li]Bump your thread only once[/li][li]Do not make a habit of always bumping each of your threads.[/list=A][/li]When you bump your thread, it is preferrable to include additional information relevant to the original post, which may help encourage posters to respond.

What if I want to continue / add to the discussion on a topic that was mentioned in an old thread?

Start a new thread with a link to the old thread. A general guideline for “old” would be a thread older than three months.
