What does bump mean?

[HairQueen]

Hi I am new to this site but have been lurking around on it for a while. I have seen on some posts that people have written that they are 'bumping for more responses' or just 'bumping' what does that mean and how is it done?

Thanks.

Bump is a way move a thread back up on the page. As people respond to other threads or create new ones your post could get buried. When you're looking for responses to your question sometimes it's frustrating if your post has been moved to page two or three and no one can see it.

BTW, welcome to the board.

Ok now I understand, thanks Lorraine!
