Afternoon,

So I've noticed recently that a few of the threads (Legion Expedtions, Vincent's Man-Diary to name two I know I've seen it on) have had a 'Bump Post' button at the bottom right next to the 'Bookmark' one. Interestingly enough though is that's not always there and I can't seem to find any consistency in what does make it appear. Where I'll see it there one minute, then if I come back to the page later without taking any actions other than returning to the portal page and then seeking out the old thread again, then it's gone.

Anyone know what the story is on these? It's a great feature when it works and saves a lot of hassle from having to delete an old post and re-posting it to serve as a reminder for events or advertisements.

Just curious of the mechanics on this or if I'm just hallucinating and seeing magic buttons.

Bumping is a feature that can be granted by a webadmin for posts. There are multiple ways that option (and others) can be configured, so I would assume that what you are seeing is how the feature is currently set up. Also, not all feature are turned on for all forums, and some are limited to certain user groups.

Hope that helps!
