bvs21 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I'm sure some of you are aware that I am accidentally bumping old topics. Since I'm new here, can you give me some advice on how to avoid bumping old topics? I'd appreciate the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitsune Inferno Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 (edited) Check the date of the last post. If it's more than two weeks old, then don't post in it. If nobody has posted in it for two weeks, that means nobody is interested in it. Here's a helpful excerpt from the rules: A Note About Bumping TopicsIf you've found a topic in which the posts were all made a long time ago, you should ask yourself this question before replying. Is this topic useful and/or will other members appreciate me bringing this topic back up to the first page?Now if the answer to this is yes, then you're fine so long as your reply is on topic and somewhat meaningful and/or insightful. There's no point bumping a topic and just saying "thanks for the info". If the answer is no, then there porbably isn't much point replying. Bumping old topics which aren't on the first 2 pages of a forum without a worth reply will usually result in the locking of the topic, and/or your post being deleted. You'll be warned for repeat offences. Edited July 30, 2007 by WnN2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
