I posted on “A question” thread but it didn’t show on the first page.

MawBe Mon 28-Jun-21 09:42:56

Post again and say “bump” ? - it should do it!

Calendargirl Mon 28-Jun-21 09:43:13

In answer to your question, with difficulty it seems!

Bump

Whitewavemark2 Mon 28-Jun-21 11:32:53

Thanks I’ll give it a go

ElderlyPerson Mon 28-Jun-21 11:49:38

You just did!

Whitewavemark2 Mon 28-Jun-21 17:09:33

So, I’ve bumped up a couple of threads to get them into the right order, and GN have deleted the bumps???? no explanation given.

Don’t sayBump just say a ythi g relevant

Whitewavemark2 Mon 28-Jun-21 17:12:49

What rules am I breaking? Anyone know?

What do you mean?

Whitewavemark2 Mon 28-Jun-21 17:47:24

I’ve now reported myself to try and get an explanation as emails reported a systems failure

Callistemon Mon 28-Jun-21 17:50:48

Try saying ressalto instead.

Portuguese threads and posts don't get deleted.

Hi there

We don't delete bumps so there's something not quite right here - keep an eye on your inbox OP, we'll mail you.

Whitewavemark2 Mon 28-Jun-21 17:54:54

Now we’ve got your, attention dear GN, is there a problem with the system regarding getting stuff in the right order, or are you weighting threads?

What are bumps?

Whitewavemark2 Mon 28-Jun-21 18:30:43

Right I have my answer.

Apparently my two bumps were filling up the thread??? and annoying other posters. Come on own up who reported me?

The thread wasn’t showing in active because I’d hidden it.

This gets more bizarre by the minute as I haven’t a clue how to hide anything.

My theory is that they are weighting some topics. Fine, but just tell us. Otherwise I think there may some evasive action needed.

Why on earth would anyone report a bump post?!?! confused

Threads have been in the wrong order all weekend so something is afoot.

Because they could not find the issue in the normal way for some reason.

I bumped my posts because the system wasn’t registering them correctly. Or perhaps they were but GN haven’t owned up to tweaking the system?

That is beyond ridiculous!
If threads appeared in the order they were posted on, most recent first, there would be no need for “bumps” but to suggest TWO “bumps” were filling up a thread and annoying other posters, is totally ridiculous.
PS I didn’t know one can hide threads - that’s weird- aren’t they open to all?

What madness is going on here? I've just typed out a post, tried to upload it but got ERROR 504 and the post was lost. When I tried again, the lost post had reappeared and had uploaded but the replacement post has vanished. This is messing with me 'ead.

It keeps happening to me too!

Does this help ??

It has come up in the last hour list at 20.19 but not on the last hour list as there is already a message timed at 20.20.

What are bumps?

they're like mumps but without the spots.
someone has had them deleted in case they are catching.
