By Vangie Beal In online forums and other online discussion spaces bump is the word used to describe an action (e.g. a message post) so that a particular thread is returned to the top in the list of threads. Some users may even post a message with only the word “bump” to indicate they are posting only to bump the thread to the top of the list where more users will see it. ---
