Web Thread bumps.

[Deleted member 469419]

Hi,

Welcome back to another suggestion, this time it is about bump posts, I've been thinking on a better system that would give a better image to the forums and would avoid other non-worrisome issues.

As many of you may know, exists a rule/right which basically consist in bring the suggestion up to the top, so if it got unnoticed, the members who are online in that moment are able to see it.

Currently the only way to make a bump post it's commenting on that suggestion (always respecting at necro-posting rule). So I've come up to the following conclusion: Why not adding it as a forums thread-tool?

Spoiler: Example

Features:

• There will be an option called "Bump post" or "Make a bumping" which if you click on it, the thread will automatically bring to the top.
• It's important to know that this bump could be only done twice as states in the rules.
• When you click over the option, you won't need any message of any kind, it automatically will go to the latest thread top.
• As you may know, I suggested yesterday a necro-posting warning to avoid the replying on old threads, so if this get added, when a thread is older than 3 weeks, it will impossible to make a bump post by that option since it will be locked. Even though I can understand it may be bit difficult since XenForo doesn't allow some specific stuff as you may know.

Positive things:

• It gives a nice shape to the forums thread-tools, since the only one you can use it's the 'edit thread/option' title, so this mean it's basically empty, which in my opinion need more useful tools for threads.
• It won't make necessary to post a message on any thread/suggestion, so you don't get a free unnecessary message.
• You'll only have to click over this previously mentioned option to bump a thread.

Thanks for reading it out, don't forget your feedback!

Looks like a cool idea. This would make the "bump" message spam unnecessary. You got my support!

 

[LoveAndMafia]

Sure that i want see this implemented, I think that is a very good idea.
This would ensure that the posts would not be forgotten!

HEy dude this is a great suggestion, since I've seen lots of suggestions that only got 1-5 people that could read it, adding this "bump" system almost everyone that get in the forums will be able to see it and give an opinion on it

Love this idea, and could see it saving many great suggestions that go un-noticed. Although, if this is not currently a feature available with the Xenforo forums software it will be impossible for Cube to implement this. If that's the case you will then need to suggest this on the Xenforo forums so that their developers can include this feature in their next update. If it does end up getting implemented Cube could then update Xenforo to its latest version with your thread-bumps feature added!
(I'm not sure if the Xenforo developers are still active, or if Cube updates Xenforo due to corruption/data-loss risks.)
But, if there is a thread-bumps feature currently available in the Xenforo version that Cube uses it should be as easy as toggling a feature. Hopefully an Admin/web-developer can clarify sometime soon =]

I believe there already is a community made XenForo-addon for this.

I'm not so much into XenForo stuff, so I'll have to look it tomorrow, it's late and gotta go now to sleep because I get up early tomorrow.

Edit: As @Axyy said, it's possible that there will be already an add-on of this.

Thanks for the feedback.

Literally googled "XenForo bump post" and I found this out: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/banxix-bump-thread.162904/

So it's possible

Would make bumping posts to the top less messy and more attractive on the thread itself. +1.

Thread bumped!

Hi there!
I really liked this, as already some people said above ^
And it would also look like fancier in my openion if ''BUMP'' would get a cool message if someone would bump there thread.
Really like this. Goodluck with getting this implemented!

First of all, thank you so much for your support to this thread!

And it would also look like fancier in my openion if ''BUMP'' would get a cool message if someone would bump there thread.

In order to clarify the things: Even though it's true it would be nice to have something like this implemented, it's not what I was originally suggesting. The main idea was about being able to bump threads easily and not need to reply to the thread to bump this. Also, along with this, I was also suggesting to implement this as a tool.

Thanks again for your support!
PD: Don't forget to vote in the poll hehe

Sounds good to me, I don’t really see any downsides. I would say maybe to limit the number of times a thread can be bumped to once per day just to avoid it always being at the top and not giving other threads a chance to be seen.

Overall, sounds like a good QoL change and also a change that will help stop message farming.

+1

Hey,

Thanks for the feedback! @iLuvQwls

Yes. This is mentioned on the thread. It would stay as it's now stated on the rules (2 bump post).

Although I've been thinking on a modification of this since you won't be farming messages. You'll be able to increase or decrease the number of bumpings regardless of the thread type.
