Forum lingo?

Basicly Im new to the forums and have no idea how to use it properly.

Firstly what is meant by bump?
Secondly how do you close a topic which you have made?

And if there is anything else important which someone could so kindly share with me that would be great. \:D/

A bump is when you reply to a topic, for no reason other than to get it to the top of the page.

You usually cannot close your own topics, thats why we're here.

Re: Forum lingo?

when you say to get it to the top of the page, do you mean to get it to the top of the new posts page?

a bump can move a topic from the bottom of the topics list to the top, since the bump is then the last post in that forum section...
