Bump Threads/Make Threads older · **Released**: 09-28-2005

<font size="3">Bump Threads/Make Threads older</font>

Description
This is a port of "Bump thread and make thread older" by Kentaurus who deserves full credits for the Hack idea.
Bumping a thread is something you eventually need. A thread that has some days
old, it is in the second page of your forum or only a few positions below and you want
attention to be in it again. Posting makes the thread on top, but you don't want
to post in the thread.

Additionally I have added an option called "make thread older" or "debump". This makes
your thread one day older, making room for new threads in the top of the forumdisplay.
Why this? It is useful for closed threads that you don't want to be taking your
user's attention anymore, yet you don't want to delete them. Just send them to the
second page, is takes the same effect as forgetting about them.

Currently only single Thread handling (though Thread Tools) is supported; future Versions might support inline moderation as well.

I believe only Admins, SuperMods, and Mods of a particular forum can do it.

well if it's an admin only feature I don't see how useful it is...because registered users are still gonna reply to a thread with the text "bump" to ge it to the top. Andreas is there a simply adjustment in order to make this accessible to all users?

Thats why I wish there was a slippery hack.

Um, is this compatible with 3.0.0 by any chance? I haven't upgrade yet I am planning on it in the future but if it would work then I'd like to go ahead and get it up. Where does it get uploaded to? That's where I'm a tad confused.

Andreas,

I noticed you've done several hacks based on 'bumping' on replies. And I was curious, do you know if it would be possible to have some sort of feature that would allow you to have a thread stop being bumped after a specific number of replies? aka an automated version of this hack..

They call it 'saging' on a lot of imageboard (4chan if you've heard of it) and I think it would be a great feature to reduce the amount of spammers.

Anyhow, I appreciate you reading this, and hope you reply.
