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.

1 Product XML (3 Plugins, 4 Phrases)

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

great man, these plugins really rock!

*clicks install*

Just to give you another idea kirby:

What about a feature that allows for autobumping certain threads on a daily basis

Works like a champ. Thank's all.

Awesome. I run a freebie and contesting site and contest pages get larger and larger and it's a big pain to bump all the time. This will make a great addition. Thank's.

Thanks

I'm not sure if it's supposed to do this but it appears that once bumped, the thread will stay marked as unread unless you mark it read or post to it.

I just told my users it was the new "force them to post hack".

im getting the same, had to disable until this is resolved, threads just stay up there ? open a hundred times and it still shows unread ??

silurius · #29 10-24-2005, 08:24 PM

Bigger issue for me is, the same thread title remains visible on the forums page regardless of bump status.

GoNz00 · #30 10-24-2005, 08:42 PM

do you others with the problem also run the prevent bumping older threads plugin ?
I wonder if it's a conflict with 'Hook Location : showthread_start'

I've got the same problems. I don't have any other hacks installed.
