I don't belong to "the powers that be" but here's my own POV of your queries:

"bumpin' of threads" - every reply or post you make on a certain thread will put that said topic on "top" of the list, so all the other topics fall under it. "bumping" is putting "their own topics" on top of the first page thus making it more accessible to others.

"thread crapping" - this usually occurs in the Buy, Sell, Trade, Classifieds (BSTC) threads. it's when posters give a side comment on a particular product and or service you are trying to sell, mostly, the negative aspects of it. unwarranted replies as they say..

as for your third query regarding the "Search" button, I think it's up and running. why don't you try using it the next time you log-in.

I hope that short and sweet explanation would make your istorya experience more enjoyable.

welcome and have a great day :mrgreen:

Being a girl isn't an excuse, neither is being lazy.

If you are posting here, you are on the internet and have the time to use a search engine, please use it.

This has nothing to go with the subject, stop thread crapping you idiot!

1. bump - to bring up somebody's post typically by posting the word "bump" on a message board
