[solved]Forum Query, How to post without bump?

Post by Lineman Maul »

Hello. Is it possible to post a reply in a thread without bumping to the top of the subforum? I would like to add additional information into [solved] threads without spamming the messageboard. Thanks!

I wouldn't worry too much about that.

If there is any spamming that is another matter but any worthy and wellmeant contributions would be welcome.

Not as far as I know.

That is welcomed, as long as the threads aren't too old. If they are older than a year, we're going to ask you to refrain; if the information is really good and you must post it or you will burst, please start a new topic.

If your issue is solved, kindly indicate that by editing the first post in the topic, and adding [SOLVED] to the title. Thanks!

Add info--it's gonna get bumped, or new topic--Be sure to include a link to the original discussion
If it's pertinent to the discussion then add the info and let it bump--we all want to see it.

FWIW, given that I dislike leaving bad and/or incomplete information lying around I've a few times gone back to old posts and edited them (in fact do that quite often as some here will recognize, but the point here is about explicitly old posts). Editing does not bump and although it clearly only works if one's own post(s) is/are present in the thread at all and preferably at or near the end of the existing thread, if you mark edited in text clearly with [EDIT] or some such it might generally fit that which you want to accomplish.

Thank you all. A one year limit sounds just. I like hard boundaries.

I agree. I don't want to be known for poor information.
