How to properly BUMP up, a post,
I've got posters complaining, that I'm reposting my question. How do I do this BUMP thingy?
It is very easy, to do. Reply to you own post. You will see a yellow button that says reply. Press it. You will notice a 'subject line' and the 'body'.
Write BUMP, in the 'subject line'; every poster will know that you are BUMPing your post.
You should type BUMP (nm). The nm means "no message". The body will not contain any additional information. Posters will know at a glance, that the body is empty. Posters will appreciate it.
The reason for putting BUMP in the subject line, is to help as many posters as possible. Many posters like to scan a post (they look at the subject line). If you put BUMP in the body, than you are going to make posters a tad angry. These posters are less likely to help you, later on. Be polite and put BUMP in the subject line. Nobody likes to open up a post and find out, that it doesn't contain any information.
I wouldn't BUMP more than once an hour. If you keep reposting, you run the risk of being 'ignored'. (BUMP once every 8 hours and you will get the world. Don't forget we have 24 time zones. lol)
IMDB wont let me BUMP. I'm confused. Help me, won't you?
You need to have something in the body.
Type (nm) or whatever, it will work. -----(nm) means "no message"
Chances are you have multiple posts, on the I Need to Know Board. You will want to delete them all, except for a single post (the one with the most responses, keep that post!!!).
