BUMP.
I am a newbie here, what does it mean when somebody says BUMP????????
Bump is just a say that they're pushing a thread back to the top of the front page.
When someone posts, it moves the thread to the top of latest posts. So a bump is a post designed to that.
'bttt' is another message that may be posted -- short for back to the top.
In addition, 'pings' are designed to flag certain posters over to a particular thread.
You can probably slide by this time, but just don't "BTTT" or you'll really be in for it. Consider it a little friendly advice.
By the way, welcome!
