    I've been wondering the same thing...I feel kind of stupid, like I completely missed something.

    Bump is a way to mark the topic so you can re-visit the conversation at a later time.

    it means that person wants to bump the tread to the top of the list on the category home page either to get more attention to it or get it into their thread history.

    Bump is a word used in message boards to get people to start commenting on a subject again when the thread has stopped being commented on.

    If someone "bumps" a thread in a forum, it means that they are making that thread go back to the topmost point of the forum, thus allowing more people to see it since it may have "sunk" down off of the first page or first pages of the forum threads.

    I was feeling the same way! I think I figured it out though. When a thread gets old, people will just post bump to 'bump' it to the top to make it a recent thread again. yes? no? maybe? lol.

    Yep. Except it seems like people here will also 'bump' it so they can find it later via their "recent forum posts" instead of bookmarking or emailing the link to themselves...
