Allotments 4 All

Can anyone enlighten me on the meaning of the word bump. on this forum
It seems to pop up on post quite often.
Is it like when a child gets shouted at and another child gets away with it so that child
pokes his/her tongue out....at the other and says told you so, so there...........LOL........ ;D ;D ;D ;D

 :D A bump is moving your thread to the top of the list again

Thanks Biscombe
for putting me straight....

Without necessarily addding anything to the thread. So that others see it as they drop off the first page quickly...
