Bumping Topics. :bump: Bumping topics is replying to a topic to get it to the top of the topic listings. Replies sometimes have an ending of "bump" or "?" or any other useless information, and is quite common among support forums. Please wait at least 24 hours before bumping a topic up. Bumping it after 2 hours will not get you a reply any faster. If a topic is bumped once before 24 hours, we will warn you. If it happens again in the same topic, the topic will be locked. Also, bumping it after 24 hours while it still is at the top of the forum won't help. The topic won't go any higher in the list. Forum Admin does this at times so it remains in attention of the forum users. With lots of Topics being entered, some of the important topics are pushed up in this manner. We understand as a new user, having your post go unanswered on a bulletin board can be very discouraging. This process is designed to bring a user's post back to the top of the list in the forums so that regular readers will see the post again and may then answer the poster's question, But..... .....Another gentle reminder: The message board is not a chat room. If you're looking for the answer to your question RIGHT NOW, this is the wrong place for you. Most of our visitors check the board 1 or 2 times a day, for maybe 10 or 20 minutes...and our members and guests average 10-25 members online in any given moment depending on the time of day, etc. Our forum Administration Team is around in and out during the day or night, but not continuously 24/7. Constantly "bumping" topics or posting the same question repeatedly serves no purpose whatsoever. We've managed to draw a pretty good group of people, and we'd like to keep it that way.
