Bump Lists to Become Keywords

Posted on 07/24/2004 6:41:49 PM PDT by John Robinson

I'm going to convert bump lists to keywords and discontinue that form of addressing. This will only affect you if you know what a bump list is. Thank you.

Update #1 within the hour pings to bump lists will fail to register. Tick tock...

Update #2 to add an article to the bump lists--which are now keywords--use the "Click to add keyword" link that lists below the text of each article. Enter the name of the bump list without spaces.

A list of those names can be found on the old bump list register.

Update #2.5 Oh, and, for better or worse, keywords are now global across all forums. For example, yesterday the moose keyword would have a different list of articles depending on which forum you were in--utter chaos. Today, moose lists all articles across all forums.

Is a bump to the top (bttt) the same as a bump list?

If someone "pings" someone else to a thread, is that considered to be about the same as a bump list?

John,

In general, I love this forum and consider it one of the easiest, least cluttered to participate in.

As one who builds for a living, believe me, I can appreciate simplicity in design and function.

However, would you please make sure that the old bump list archive is accesible? Even if it is a "read only"list? There is a lot of very important information in those old threads.

Thanks,

Billy

Whatever happened to the "hold mah beer and watch this" bump list, or was that a ping list? Whenever I see that note on a thread, I know humor is in store. I just don't recall who had that list.

I knew you were just funnin' and I was just trying to keep it up.

2 words we don't use in our house are 'hate' and 'stupid' except when it comes to flies, fleas and, mosquitos (there are lots more but we don't use them in front of the 6yo)

In other words you are going to make things even more confusing for us old farts, aren't you?????????

You can picture happy gatherings
Round the fireside long ago,
And you think of tearful partings,
When they left you here below.

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, by and by?
In a better home waiting
In the sky, in the sky?

I get a "double whammy" from you Gabz when bonding through posts, for I appreciate your political attitude and at the same time I get to see my favorite tag line which should be archived in FR for ever for in my opinion for it is a classic.

Some people wouldn't consider my "political attitude" legitimately acquired because before I became a volunteer activist I spent years as a paid lobbyist and prior to that I was a reporter...........

But I knew I was a conservative back in 1976, 2 years before I wa old enough to vote.

Take the tagline and use it yourself.

NO

It really is just a list of documents that can be retrieved that have previously been put on a list.. If you haven't used them before them, forget about it cause Keywords give the same function mostly!!!

Eventually we'll have user created topics, that will be more like little forums, with their own home page, list of members, etc., and these bump lists turned keywords can then become topics.

Oh now....that sounds very interesting!!!
