Because I feel like such an idiot.
People make their own accomplishment threads, which are seen frequently from many people here...
When they accomplish something new, and post it in their own accomplishment thread, do they go back to their accomplishment thread and just edit it to show their new accomplishment? If that IS all...how does it show up back at the top of the forum since it will already be at the bottom since there haven't been new posts...
I'm ashamed to admit that I just did it, and was disappointed when it stayed down at the very bottom of the page.

Most of the time, people just edit their first thread and then bump it. Do you think HA got 5000 pages of posts every time he created a new accomplishments thread?

Threads move to the top when a post is added to the end of them. If you wanted to "bump" your accomplishment thread to the top, I would suggest adding your most recent accomplishment in the form of a new post. The typical way it is done is "Bump for new accomplishment!", but if you wanted to do it the classy way, I would suggest putting your accomplishment in both the original post (by editing it) and your new post.
Hope this helps.

so, do i just say "edit bump" or "bump for new accomplishment" and it will be back on top?
and you're saying i should just make a whole new thread topic for my accomplishments? PS. i feel like much more of an idiot asking twice.
hahaha.

| To further clarify- you want to edit the main post in your thread, edit the thread title, AND add a reply to the thread explaining your new accomplishment. The thread will get "bumped" to the top of the forum and everyone will see your new accomplishment (assuming you edited the thread title). |
