I hope this helps a bit?

Stupid question from new user... what does BUMP mean?? When is it used?

[ab2013]

When no one replies to your thread, your thread will slowly sink down the list, and the lower it goes, the less likely people will see it and answer it. So, to put your thread back on the top of the pile, you type bump, so that your thread will appear once again at the top of the listing on the CC forum. So, you "bump" it up!

[MollyZo]

thanks! : ))
