    It just means they are bumping the thread up to the top of the page.

    when you reply to a thread, it puts the thread back in the first page, up at the top if it is the most recent thing replied to. it's to make sure it stays current and more people see it, so it doesn't get lost in the mire!

    The other reason people will put "bump" sometimes is to save an interesting or valuable post for later, since it will show up in their personal comment history. With the new updates to the forums, individual posts can just be saved, so hopefully there will be less "bump"ing on the popular posts
