Close but not quite. BTTT does mean 'bump to the top.' The top that it bumps to is the "latest posts" page. Every time anyone posts that post goes to the top of the 'latest posts' page. Of course you have to refresh the page to see what is latest.

I can't imagine why someone would use the "latest posts" page as their primary source of links. It seems very inefficient to me. I find it much easier to use the "My Comments" page, and then do keyword and freeper searches from there.

I didn't suggest that anyone did. I was only explaining the origin of the acronym 'bttt.'

"latest posts" gives a good picture of what threads are getting the most attention at any given time.
