what is "bumping" a thread, and how do you do it?

[Rachel.P]

hi all, i keep seeing "bump" on threads. the first one i saw it on was a ttc thread, so naturally i though it meant that the poster reckoned the asker was preg LOL

but i know its not that now..
i kinda get it, but a lil confused.

and also, i see no "bump" option anywhere..
how do you do it, or is it for certain members?
sorry, not the most computer literate..
i'm a film photographer..
all things digital/electronic go over my head!!

you just type "bump" when your post has dropped down the page & hasnt had many replies - so it will go back to the top of the page & give more opportunity for people to read/respond to it

hope that makes sense? xx

i'll be bumping up all my burning questions from now on!
thankyou so much
