I see that in threads all the time.

Somebody will reply to a thread with the word “bump”.

What does that mean?
 
People will "Bump" old threads so that it brings it back to the top where more people interact with the thread / post.

It usually means they are STILL looking for an answer to their question most of the time. ;)

Ah... so by "bumping", it gets to the top of the thread list because of the recent "post".
