Bump is used when someone wants to post a reply to a thread simply to "bump" it back to the top of the "Latest Posts" list so more visitors will see it. BTTT - "Back To The Top" is used interchangeably with "Bump".

Bttt - Bump to the top, not Btt

Bttt means "Back To The Top"... this is from the old days when there was no way to search for a thread... once it scrolled off the "latest posts" page it was gone, unless you knew the URL, had a bookmark set or could get it from your browser's cache.

So, we used to "bump" threads to make them show up on the latest posts page in order to give them a wider audience.

Has it been 6 years already? Time flies.

Most of the time it is used to cause the thread to appear in your "posts to you" function so you can find it later and read it then.
