I request @Bob Hawkes to explain on this.

Whenever someone posts a new reply to a thread, then it gets on the New Posts so NPs readers are more likely to notice it. It also has an extra reply which will help the thread get to the daily, weekly popularity lists on the sidebar. So he was simply saying thanks for providing a reply which helps bump the thread up and make it more noticed.

Bumps are used (with limits set by NPs) particularly on auction and other sales posts to help a thread stay on the first page and be noticed. Sometimes in other types of threads people add a reply partly to raise awareness of the thread.

Welcome to NPs @lightbear and we welcome your contributions, whether intended as a bump or not!

There's also a wiki on the topic:

We hope that helps.

I haven't received any replies to a thread. If I lower the price considerable, will that bump it up to the top so others may reconsider my names?

You don't have to lower anything. A basic member can bump a thread every 12 hours. I think every 6 hours for you.

You can write "bump" or "up" or whatever you want to get your thread to the top.

@Lord Antares is correct, but if you do want to post a price update (e.g., a lower price) in your thread, then that will also serve as a bump. Any post in a thread will bump it unless the system blocks the bump for some reason, such as exceeding your account limits.

It is an annoying thing people with bad domains do to bring attention to them.

You know, after 100 bumps without any response the odds of selling are much higher

: seems the other way around in my mind: How could 100 bumps with no response make the odds of selling much higher? I'd think lower not higher given more exposure and still zero responses. Am I missing something or were you being satirical?

About 3 hours ago, I lowered my price in Fixed $100 minimum and it didn't bump to the top. Have I misunderstood something? OR Does it take a day OR something else ?? Thank you.

Post "bump" (or anything) in your thread AS A REPLY. So, below your post, in the post reply rection.

Do you mean: to go to the thread AND REPLY to it myself AND type in the word POST and that will bump it right away???

 

[Paul 11]

Thanks @lightbear for bumping the thread.

NOW I understand what bump is and does so in reply to your Thanks, I say: I'm glad to hear.

Yes, that's correct. What you write doesn't matter. It could be "post" or "bump" or "banana". As long as it's anything.

Yay!! Magic. Thank you for knowing what to do and saying it clearly so I understand.
