    "Bump chain", "Bümpfest" or "Bump rush" means a consecutive string of posts that employ the B-word. :*

    What does "bump" mean for the social media illiterate.

    Bump is just a way to get a particular conversation back to the top of the page. Any word would do :)

    Anytime someone comments (any word) it bumps that thread to the top of the list, hence.... bump! to get it to the top even if you don't have anything to add. If something is so important it shouldn't be lost on the 3rd, 274th page, etc.

    You can set your percentages in settings. Get it as close to your goal as possible, but it only sets in grams with the pay version. Of course, when you exercise, it's going to add calories and carbs. You can't really turn that off. I avoid it by setting all my exercise to 1 calorie when I enter it. Then it doesn't mess with my calories or carbs to any degree. With the website (not the app) you can install a script for Firefox or Chrome that will make a Net Carbs column provided you have both Carbs and Fiber as columns in your settings. That script link is at the bottom of the 1st page of the Launch Pad. (You have to install Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey to the browser first from Extensions or Add-Ons and then install the script.) But again that only works for the website. I don't bother with that since it doesn't work on the app. I switch back and forth throughout the day btw the site and the app. So I keep the Carbs and Fiber columns next to each other and do mental subtraction on the fly. You can keep track of that in your Notes.

    HTH.
