what does it mean when a person “bumps” a thread?
It means to post to it to put it back up at the top of the tread listings.
Guidelines for bumping threads.

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][/li][/quote]
This is really a question About This Message Board. Since it has been answered, I’ll just close it rather than move it.
