What's the deal with BUMP!! (1 Viewer)

[rkbowlathon]

New member here and I have a dumb but honest question. As I surf the site and look over threads and auctions everyone posts: BUMP, BUMP BUMP. Is this used to show you like something or does it have more meaning? Help me with the lingo

 

[Alex Lundstrum]

Not certain, but I believe it is short for "bump"ing the thread to the top of the New Posts list. That way people will see it when doing they're daily perusal as well as get a notification if they are watching the thread.

It just bumps the post back to the top of the classifieds or forum in question.

Classifieds get buried easily in a day or two. You "bump" your post to bring it back to people's attention. You hope.

Bump . Not sure if this is actually what it stands for, but it's what I have labeled it lol.

Hello and welcome! (if I haven't said so before)

and BUMP!

 

[rkbowlathon]

Well at least this ended up being a worth while question. Thanks for the clarification

You'll see some sales with pages of bumps. Actually a pet peeve of mine, at some point I would think a price adjustment might be considered (but be careful, one of the big site rules is that you can't criticize sale prices).

 

[Highli99]

Those make me laugh. The 30th bump rarely succeeds.

 

[Chipandchair]

Also, you are supposed to wait 24 hours before bumping again. BTW, free bump

I am sure it is difficult to program, but it would be awesome if there was a way to categorize better than just "for sale" so that you could possibly look at what was available based on tags like this:

• "for sale" + "complete set" + "paulson" + "thc"
• "for sale" + "sample set" + "cpc"
• "for sale" + "paulson" + "rhc" + "solids"
• "for sale" + "barrel" + "paulson" + "thc"

It would help sell things that have been sitting around for a long time and make search functions more usable and bumping less important.

We’re going to bump all night long.
We’re going to boogie ‘til the cows come home...

It took me a while to figure out all the different terms. First i was overwhelmed, never heard of barrel or rack,inlay, bump, etc
