    BTW I'm seeing the bump option on a thread I created in GC, is it normal?

    Yeah, it's available on any thread in any section... although would only sort differently if you sort threads by creation date.

    So, the thread needs to be created by me to bump or can I bump anyone's thread which I may find interesting?

    You can only bump your own thread. I thought about being able to bump other people's threads, but it would start a whole "pay me to bump your thread" spam economy I think.

    Thats actually an interesting idea, it could be so that if 5 itraders are given for a thread (as a buyer) it gets bumped (if its technically possible). Itrader fraud is bannable since a long time and there no "pay me to get itrader" stuff going on and most probably never will....

    That's right!!
    But why not limiting it to BST only? That may cut down some server loads.

    Or, just let people only bump their own thread. Done. :)

    Doesn't cut down on server load at all. In fact it would only slightly ADD to the load since it would have to check what forum it was in if someone wants to bump.

    Shawn,

    Please define Bump

    Beside posting some stupid “thanks” or “I added your site” or “who else” etc. what else would be Bumping?

    I’ll give you some example.

    Lets say I started thread and got a few replies.
    Then I found in different thread post related to my thread and posted reply to that post in my thread.

    Will it be bumping the thread?

    What if I posted something related to my original thread as supplementary info that I find after I started thread?

    It should all be in the FAQ.

    If you’re talking about Replying To Threads > Bumping Threads
    then it scantily related to example I brought and circumstance in my initial post you have replied.

    1) Was it in the BST?
    2) Was it marked as sold?
    3) Was there a time limit for the sale to end?

    You are out of luck then, it only works in the BST. Please wait 30 days! :p

    It currently only applies to sorting by thread creation time.

    I don't think it's working properly. I did my first bump with this thread and it didn't bump it to the top of the signature links forum.
