Bump or bttt or a similar thing is to post this to yourself so you can find it later.

At the end of the original post, there is a bookmark you can click on. That puts the bookmark in your public profile so you can retrieve it later.

The bookmark is fairly permanent, where bump will move down in your posts, to where you cannot see it easily.

There are other expressions and words that you will become familiar with. They just became used over the years informally.

When someone replies on a thread, their reply is "bumped" to the top of the latest posts. Sometimes a reader may not have any comment, but thinks the thread is important for others to read. By posting "bump" or BTTT (Back To The Top) it keeps the thread alive and more visible for others.

Bookmark has a couple of different meanings. Sometimes if I don't have time to read an entire thread, I'll bookmark where I left off. If it's a very important thread which you want to find later, there is a "Bookmark" link at the top of each thread, just above the first comment. When you click on that it will be saved in your personal profile under "Links". Should you ever need to find it again, go to your profile page and click on "Links" - all your saved threads will be there in alphabetical order. Pretty neat, huh??
