Daft question, but ...

[dblcamaros]

Still rather new here....help plz.

Not really sure if this is where I need to post this but here goes. I see a lot of posts that say BTT and bump.........I read somewhere about the bump but don't remember where. I believe it is to send your post to the front. Right? If so How do you do the bump and what and how is the BTT?
Thanks to all of you for your patience and insight! Love this site!

bbt back to the top.

Almost no reason to use these unless you have an ad in the classifieds. We have a limit on how often we allow this.

It is rude to try to put your ad on the main page (too frequently).

 

[dblcamaros]

ok got ya. Thank you. So what is the difference between BTT and bump then?

 

[phil2968]

Nada.

BTT is a post as if you are texting , bump is a properly spelled out word as if your posting on a forum . There is a site rule on not posting as if texting and doghead is very good at reminding people.

DH should change his avatar to mach his mood. Can we find a pic of a grumpy Elvis? He has one of a happy Elvis! Just sayin'.




DH's post or replies are one of reasons I read this site. It's better than prime time TV! I do miss him in the chat room.

 

[dblcamaros]

OK. Thank you all for the info! Was just wondering because I see them a lot in ads. Curiosity settled lol!

 

[dblcamaros]

1 more thing.......is there a way to delete old threads like this once you have no longer a need for it, so as to clear up some space? Or just let it fall by the way side.

 

[phil2968]

Not anymore. Like an old dog, just let her lie.

YIA

DH, what does YIA mean ? That one is new to me.

 

[dblcamaros]

Thanx. Will just let it fade away then. Seems you should be able to delete them to clean things up.

 

[phil2968]

You used you could. People would delete whole useful threads full of info so they took it away.

 

[doghead]

If the next guy that wonders what BTT or bump means, searches the site, they may find this thread(if it is not deleted). That way everyone can learn for your simple post asking a simple question.

and doghead is very good at reminding people.

YIA = Yes I Am.

There is no such thing as a dumb question (but there are a lot of inquisitive idiots in the world).

Thats like the pot calling the kettle black!

BTT......

Bump.......


Does either of these mean "ditto" or "I second that"...? had assumed but not positive.
Kind of a 'derr' statement I 'spose.

Have been meaning to ask ever since I joined the fray.
( And I am surprised that they're not lumped into the banned 'text speak' which makes many [mods and me] cringe...)


Thanks and look forward to all sarcastic answers
