Georgelemmons Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I have a topic in which i responded to a question, and no other posts have been made since. Would it be considered a double post if i bumped it? And second, is there any rule about how long you have to wait before bumping a topic? Thanks to Uno for the awsome sig <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crow Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I wouldn't bump it right away. Maybe bumping is against forum-rules, but I don't think anyone would mind if there are at least a few hours between each post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Diddy Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Posting again to bump up a topic is fine(just do it occasionally). I just have a question as to why you would want to bump a topic that you were answering a question for, chances are the topic creator saw your answer.

tripsis Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 If you're the one answering the question (it's not your thread) then there is no reason to bump it, as Lord_Diddy said. The author probably saw your response, but if s/he didn't, s/he can always find the thread again by going to View Your Posts, on the front page. - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icecube Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 wat is bumping? B.U.M.P stands for Bring Up My Post. In other words, it's for bringing your thread back to the top of the list in hopes for replies. It can be considered spam if you do it when it's not necessary.

mchainmail Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 A good general rule of thumb is never bump your thread (if you're the original poster) until 24 hours has passed OR it is no longer on the first page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J35u5_M4 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 won't be considered double post, only if the topic is not in the first page, if you bump topics in the first page can be counted as double post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
