    Bring up my post.

    The op (original poster) can bump their post after 48hours of inactivity.
    This will make it rise up in the subforum that it is in.
    Its a way for the poster to get more eyes on their thread if it has sunk below others.
  • It means, when you say it so your discussion is in "Recent Discussions" so more ppl see it and comment :) (There's a forum rule about this, you can't bump old threads or you need to wait 24 hours for bumping your discussion)

    Cheers mate

    So if you have old threads you can not bump them and if you make a new thread you need to wait 48 hours?

    If it is your thread it doesn't matter how old it is you can bump it.

    Yes, for more info check cc rules, and old threads are not meant to be how you think, It means you can't comment on other people's discussion from a few months ago... which cannot be used anymore, considered as necroposting

    No you have to wait 48hours unless its in the trading section.
    People saying 24hours are getting confused with the games section rules.

    All the rules are here and pretty easy to follow by most :P

    If no one has responded within your topic for 48 hours, you may bump the topic with a comment. (They will not be taken as multi-posts)

    For trading section only
    If you wish to make people aware of an update/change in your discussion, you may bump it with a maximum of 2 times prior to the 48hr limit.
    (They will not be taken as multi-posts, providing that you explain the update.)

    There is so much more to learn

    Do you have a way of closing or deleting a thread if so please take this thread down

    We rarely delete threads. They can be closed upon request.
    Ask in the thread and a mod will close it like this....
