I see everybody post "BUMP" even though they dont answer the post. Why do they do that? .

rajinaren, everybody 'bumps' so that thread's like this won't go unanswered by someone who may be able to help or answer a question.
When threads aren't answered right away they are placed under a forum topic and are not seen to be answered until someone scans the forums. When I answered this thread you had 2 view's and 0 answers and it no longer was on the home page. In short it's a way for someone to have their question seen on the home page until it is answered.

thanks for the clarification, I kept wondering what that meant too!

I was one of those viewers who didn't leave a reply as I hadn't a clue either what "bump" meant. Thankyou Morningglories, you sweet thing, for your perfect explanation.

thanks for clearing my doubt. i kept wondering what it meant and why somebody would bump...thanx

I second that!

Thanks morningglories!!

"I" new to forums assumed that's what it was but I try not to abuse it a while back I saw a post of a member instead of typing bump she seemed to be getting irritated because he/she was not getting any replies so unless its something I really need an answer for I use it I like that we can do that,

You are all Welcomed, and Thank You for your sweet comments and appreciation. One day a Newbie will ask this same question and you'll be able to answer.
