Newbie Has Some Questions
Posted on 09/15/2004 11:12:31 AM PDT by piperpilot
I am fairly new to the site. I think I understand what Pinging is all about but have yet to figure out what a Bump is. Can someone explain? Any other site customs I should know about?

I've been here for years and I still don't get all of the terminology. I use the ping to give myself articles for later reading. You can see your pings on the link on the top of the screen. I use the bump to send an article for someone else (put their name in the To: field).
I am sure the PTBs will say I have it all wrong.

Do you know what a "vanity" post is?

There is a FAQ around somewhere, one like what the Admin Mod posted yesterday. Stuff about not posting vanities and other trivia.

Don't even
think of posting a thread that mentions Ann Coulter or Anna Kournikova without posting an appropriate picture. Like this:
Or this:
We thank you.

A bump moves the thread to the top of "Latest Posts." A ping notifies whomever it is addressed to come and look at the thread.
Pay no attention to flak you will get for this vanity thread. Everyone was a newbie once.

Why yes I do, and I don't think it's very nice of you to accuse me of that. I tried searching the archives for an explanation and couldn't find anything, so I asked the question. If I was truly into vanity posting, I would have posted it to breaking news rather than misc.

Pajamas? Is today jammy day? The VRWC memo I got today from the bunker said to post wearing only an athletic supporter. Dang! I need to go change. Which is OK because my employees have been looking at me funny anyway.

piperpilot I've only been here for a few days..BUT from what I've figuered out so far, "Bump" does mean to bring it back to the top so folks will see the post and answer to it, and "Ping" means to put your "nic" in the "To" space so that when you want to, it will show up in Red Letters at the top for "Post to You" or something to that effect, so you'll be sure and read the post.. I know I probably made a mess of trying to explain....but so far, thats about all I do know..

I was going to tell you that you got it backwards but I realized I don't know what a PBT is so I'll just shut up.
