Bump Button Changes

Not Recently Bumped

We made some updates to the bump system a few days ago. The update was designed to help prevent flooding abuse where sellers were bumping more than the maximum amount of threads allowed on the first page of a category.

1) Closed and Sold threads can no longer be bumped. The bump button will not display and if there's an active auto-bump item it will discard itself to prevent bumps.

2) Each category limits members to the amount of posts they're allowed on the first page at the same time. This can range from 4-12 threads. If you have reached this maximum amount, you will no longer be able to bump any threads from page 2 or more.

For example.

Max threads on page one = 4
You have 4 threads on page one.
You have a few threads on page 2, 3 and 6.
While you have 4 on page, 1, you won't be able to bump any of these threads. This is to prevent members from going over the maximum thread limit.

The bump button will remain active for those threads on page 1, so those can be bumped as usual.

Nice change, good job!
 
How does this work with autobump? Does it wait for you to go below the limit or does it just ignore it?

What about the bump item on credit store? Does it also bypass the subforum thread limit?
Any way to discern between a thread thats bumped manually vs automatically?

They are not affected by this, it's only for the normal bump button. However members must still follow the forum limit. Mods will continue to issue warnings if this is used.

Yes, but not for members or mods.
