Whenever someone posts a reply on a thread, it bumps that thread back up to the top of the Latest Posts page, enabling more people to see it. Often on a thread you will see something like BTTT or bump, which are ways of accomplishing that. Other times people will converse with each other ..... and each reply sends the thread back to the top where someone else might see it who hadn't previously.

What you perceive as chit-chat is really quite useful, even though there might not be deep substance to it.

And thank you for your bumps to the thread.

I just got done watching Greta VanS on Fox...(the rerun of earlier show at 10pm eastern, that is reran againat 3am eastern) They just mention the website on the Greta VanS. show and showed a new video of Elizabeth ("Liz" as her uncle called her).

The family is pleading for help in finding "Liz". Also the younger sister that saw "Liz" taken is very upset and has not help yet in having a sketch done of the man she saw take her sister. Maybe this will happen soon.

Pray for Liz and her family... let's hope they locate her soon!

It looks like the LATEST POSTS page is in order of original post for the thread, not in order of latest post to the thread. Is there a setting to change this for your browser? I've wondered about this a long time.
