If the bump option does not appear then you are required to state that when manually bumping your ad so that we can track the issue internally and work to resolve it from randomly disappearing.


Dear wonderful forum users. Admin has asked me to write a quick tutorial on how to bump your post. For those that don't know what that means, I shall explain. As you all are probably aware, the posts are in chronological order, with the newest at the top. When you post a new post, it appears at the top of the forum. Then if somebody else posts, that will appear at the top, and so on. So eventually, your post is lower down on the list and less prominent.

'Bumping' your post means it will appear at the top of the list again, making it more prominent. Some people bump their post by posting again underneath it... often with the word "bump". But there is a proper way to do it! And I shall explain all, in 3 easy steps!

Step 1:
First of all, open your 'looking for' post.

You should see an icon with a spanner at the top.

Step 2:
Click the aforementioned spanner icon!

As you can see, if you click that icon a menu appears. On that menu is 'Bump post'.

Step 3:
Click 'bump post'! Go on, click it!! I dares ya! And... that's it. Once you click it, you will see confirmation

Now, this 'bumping' malarky can only be done ONCE IN EVERY 24 HOURS. If your post is less than 24 hours old, or if you bumped it within the past 24 hours, the 'bump post' selection will not appear. Now, just because posts can be bumped every 24 hours doesn't mean this is something to aim for. Bumping every 24 hours can be deemed a little rude, so go easy on the bumping! Give everybody else a chance. Just.... at least leave it a few days before bumping.
