This is the 50th time I'm seeing this post being posted again. @renegade Is something wrong with the forum?

Yes, I am using the forum's bump feature rather than posting and bumping. Is there something wrong with that?
Instead of a 'bump' post. The below post gets posted again and again.
@puns @logistopath @Crazy_Eddy @renegade Kindly look into this.

@MadAxe, this very well could be how the bump feature actually works. Deleting the last post and posting it again with the current timestamp would change the last reply timestamp essentially bumping the thread without doing anything else.
This way, at the DB level, you wouldn't have to code any new variable called 'bump' and put its timestamp over the actual timestamp.

@scarletwitch If this bump feature reposts the last post made instead of posting 'bump', then it is impractical. Nobody wants to know that the orange Apple Homepod Mini cannot be bought for 7650 on FK, for the nth time. No offence.

@MadAxe , That is the entire point of it. It might be impractical from your point of view but from the hosting and moderation point of view, it aims at bumping the thread without putting a new post with "bump" in it again and again keeping the forum clean and the DB lean.
You can argue that you don't want to see the last post again but is that REALLY better from seeing 50 meaningless bump posts and actually trying to find what the last message was?
Again, I am just guessing how the plugin works.

Nope. The post I quoted is being posted again and again as a new post, instead of 'bump'.
Bump feature means it bumps the thread to top. It will always point to the last post.

Putting up for sale Google Pixel 7. Phone is in mint condition with no scratches or dents anywhere on body or screen except for one very tiny thin scratch on the camera visor. Have zoomed in and increased contrast for it to be visible on camera. Attached picture for the same. Phone comes with...

New bump technique without adding a new post.
@logistopath tagging you cuz https://techenclave.com/threads/pixel-7-thread.209365/post-2491591
That's good. But it messes up with the original date of creating the sale thread.

I don't think so. The sole purpose of bump was to push your sale thread to top, without manipulating the date of OP. Anyway, don't want to argue on this. Whatever the mods decide is final after all. But I can't tolerate any kind of manipulation, so spoke out.

The date of post of the FS thread has no relevance because it doesn't affect the original purchase date of the item nor the condition of it. Besides you can always check the date of post by using the item pictures which have username and date as per rules.
And no one is arguing, it's a healthy discussion with no cuss words and actually on-topic.
@Mods requires intervention on this thread user is editing the last comment and getting free bump like a coward without comment., these type of cheap tricks will not entertain in TE
Mods correct me if i wrong or delete this post and let the user will get free bump !

I don't understand how this post is getting bumped up
The bump feature is very weird.
It shows the last post on the thread as if it was made just the moment when the thread was bumped regardless of when the last post was made. I don't think that bump feature should alter the date of the last post on the thread.
Will be helpful for WTB but I don't see much relevance in FS.

I agree it's confusing and causes deja vu. But the alternative is pages and pages of seller posting nothing but "Bump". I think someone posted a screenshot which showed more results for the word "bump" than "Intel" in this forum lol
