Default hangaround question?

I was on the classifieds and was wondering what does “bump” mean. I saw it a lot with the ads and I wasn’t sure?

Thanks

Every time there is a new post to your thread, your thread will go back up to the top of the list...so people use the word "Bump" to bump it back to the top...therefore getting more potential buyers ...or lookers

Yup, when others post an add after you, yours starts its journey down the list & into page 2 or 3 where it's less visable. If anyone posts on your add, it goes back to the top!
You need 24 or more posts on this forum & you can place an add there.

Sometimes you even see "TTT" which is the same but it stands for "to the top"
