I am kind of new to the whole forum thing, and was wondering what the single word post "bump" I see in some threads represents. Thanks for info

In a forum as busy as this one is, posts often get pushed to the 2nd or 3rd page as newer thread topics are added... thereby reducing the chance that someone will actually see the post. So often times if you want to move the thread back up to the front page, but you have no additional comment to make, people will "bump" the post so it shows back up on the front page.

Hope this helps

Gratuitous bumps aren't generally welcomed on these forums.

If you have something to add to the thread, it's always welcome, but in general.... just "bumping" the topic is acceptable for about 24 hours.

Not that it's ALWAYS out of line - I've bumped a topic, myself, when people are starting new topics that discuss duplicates that are hidden back on page 2 or 3 and it's getting to be a problem.

Sometimes, you'll see "BTT," instead - "bump to the top."

I should edit your post and add some viable content.

I used to have that under Windoze 98 - BSOD'd me to death. Couldn't work more than a couple of hours sometimes, without a reboot! Arggghhhh!

So far :::knocking on head::: Win XP has been very stable and reliable.
