“Bump thread to the top” or “bump to the top.”

The more posts a thread has, the higher it shows up in the sidebar on the first page of the forum. Many people check there to see what threads have been the most active.

When you’d like to see a thread continue to get visibility, it needs posts to “bump it to the top” of the list in that sidebar.

I asked people to bttt here because this is the sort of thread that directs you to another thread — if people don’t post at least “bttt” here, this thread will die and its goal, directing readers to the other thread or posts, won’t be met.

Hmm....I never knew that. I always thought that the mods chose which articles went into the sidebar.

BTTT, by all means.

I don't think this is correct. The position of stories in the sidebar is chronological, not based on the number of comments. Posting a comment bumps a story to the top of the Activity and Comments listings, but not the sidebars.
