I am new ,what does bump mean. When the Free Republic was 'new', whenever a post received a response, that post was 'bumped' to the top of the listed posts - irrespective of when it was first posted. Thus the phrase 'bump to the top,, or 'BTT', or 'bump'. It probably has been at least ten years since this was last the case, but 'bump' remains in the lexicon. Probably now more of a marker when someone wants to check our the post later.

It still works like it always did. Every post from every thread goes to the top of the
Latest Posts page. Of course you would have to refresh that page very rapidly when FR is busy to catch each new post at the top.
So when any post is made it "bumps" the thread it is on to the top of the Latest Posts page.
