First question.....I've searched the threads first for the word bump and about 500 threads come up. I just want to know what the term "bump" means and/or what it is used for in this forum.

Second....How do i insert icons into message rather than just the title?

Thank you guys and gals.

    Bumping is when you post in a thread just to kick it back to the top of page 1.

    Can anyone bump or does it have to be the administrator?

    anyone can 'bump' if they want to literally 'bump' a topic up to the top by replying to it.......it's used when people dont often have anything else to add to it but feel others may be interested in reading it, or others may have an answer or reply etc, so by boosting it to the top of all topics, it has a better chance of being read by people......so they simply say 'bump....'


    i hope that helped some more.....im not great at explaining things :D

    I totally get it now. Just replying to any threads throws it to the top of the list for everyone to see. Thank you for your explanations! Wicked!
