Bump or any message should automatically cause the posting thread to go to the top and continue to be on or near the top as long as the thread is active (from my understanding).
I keep seeing "Bump" in post's and apparently it is a Fiero page term as I never see it anywhere else in my other hobby forums. Thanks,,Rick B
The order that topics are displayed here are based on the time of the most recent reply, so over time a message that isn't replied to will move down the list and to older pages. Generally most people have their preferenced set so that only the 2 or 3 most recent days worth of posts and replies are visible. If you want to see a topic stay on the first or second page, but don't have anything to actually say in the topic, you could reply to it and say "bump" just to let people know why you replied, and that will "bump" it back to the top of the topic list. Also, sometimes someone will be searching the archives and stumble across a topic that they'd like to see come current input on, so they'll do the same with it as well, bump it to the top of the list.

I have also seen this term used on roadsigns. If it is on a roadsign, the best I can tell is that it means you are going to encounter a bump somewhere during the entire length of its distance. It has little or no meaning to the actual location of the bump. If, for some reason, you do not encounter the actual bump - that means it occurs somewhere before or after the distance you traveled on the road. It is possible that you have already gone over the bump. In that case the road people were telling what you just hit.
If you are traveling on a road that passes through several states and see the bump sign, it may or may not be in the state in which you are currently driving.
If for some odd reason you are driving in Michigan, the name Detroit is an alternate meaning for the word bump. All roads in and around Detroit have an implied bump.
I hope this helps. ;-)

Boy, you're not kidding about that! When I was up there for the 20th the roads were absolutely terrible! We've got abandoned roads around here that are in way better condition than the typical Detroit area roads I drove on. That, and I've never seen so many intact and semi-intact exhaust systems just laying on the shoulder of the roads.
