I'm new... help with postings?

Hello all;

Brand new to this bulletin board, finally registered after about a month's browsing.

One question, after spending countless hours drooling over the classifieds, I still haven't figured out what "bump" means!

Can someone clarify?

Bumping the post back to the top of the thread - when you reply it shifts it back to the top.

Thanks, still learnin'. Not sure about the wikipedia though!

Don,

Glad to see someone with such a vast amount helping a "tenderfoot" ...

Did someone do that with you and call you names? Is this why you call someone asking for help a "porschefool?"

With "BBS manners" like this I sure hope that you do not need help yourself anytime soon!

TERSMC,

The only stupid question is the one not asked. I hope that your time on the board is a lot better than the way this one worked out. Most people remember that they started out not knowing a lot on most things and are not dicks about it.

Good luck and come back often! Also, before making a post asking for help on a mechanical issue, use the "search" button on the top of the page. Usually most issues have been covered in the past, but if not then post a new one and we all can learn together!

JoeA;

Thanks for the tip, will be sure to use search soon. BTW, I don't think Don meant anything bad, he just took the time to read bio on my profile, which says I'm a "porschefool"... no harm done!

LOVE this BBS, will be here a long, long time....Cheers

Don,

Having a great week! I was in Bermuda on a trip the last 6 days and now home for a week straight. Working on the 911 and having fun.

You do as you wish but calling anyone a fool is just not done in my book (and many others) unless you know them very well or want to "dance" ...

Hope your weekend is as much fun!

tersmc,

The Wikipedia link is good for those of us who wish to find out about internet/forum/group terms & lingo, etc.
You can type in a word into the box in the left column for a quick search. I checked "bump" prior to posting that link.
.
Re: referring to you as 'porschefool'... It's a habit from my years over on the Pelican Parts BMW R1100S motorcycle tech forum. We do that there...check a new fellow's profile 'n often will address him as per what he chooses to enter.
You're right, I meant no harm, no disrespect.
.
Let's all have a good/safe weekend, eh? Life's too short!

You got plugged in and reacted.
You didn't know the details.
After the details were explained to you, you're still plugged in.

Joeaksa · 04-01-2005, 06:37 AM

Plugged in or not, calling someone a fool that you do not know can be hazardous to your front teeth where I live!

I know the details now and still feel the same way...
