Not if it's a question or something you need help with. It's generally OK as long as you don't bump-spam it.

I don't think so. It just means you think you have something good to say. And in your case, you usually do:)

I bump my own too. I think that there are just so many people here and at different hours of the day and night that sometimes you have to. If you find it to be helpful or useful then by all means..bump.

i agree with rossiroo

AS above, it depends on the post. I certainly see a few people bumping for the right reasons...but a lot more people bumping for all the wrong ones! I dont think its bad manners though...x

i bump my own post to

Apparantly it is lol. I was told off for doing it too. I think its a control thing tbh... when someone thinks a post should end, they dont for one minute consider that you may have more to say on it or that others that have just come online may want to see it and have asked you to bump it for them. yep...its a control thing... do as i say, not as i do ;) lolol

I don't think so, not on the depression board anyway, heck the threads go up so fast, if you didn't bump it up no one would see it.

i bump to coz my friends are on at different times lol

no

not a prob here

I always felt that bumping your own post was like thumping your own chest.
I also notice a couple of people (not mentioning names) bumping their own post to keep the attention on them. Enough said on that.

very good point toxic

Thanks rossiroo, and fulminata. I'm thinking I should have provided more information; "why have I bumped my own post?"

Pretty much, whenever I've bumped my post it is because I feel that it is a timely message (for example I recall bumping "Compassion" a number of times when the site was getting a little (or a lot!! LOL) crazy.) I also bumped "Mangos and CULTure" because people were having such fun with it.

Myspirit.. but isnt that why we post in the 1st place? To get people to see our posts? If wee didnt want people to see them.,.. we woudlnt post them in the 1st place. I dont actually post too many threads. Il usually talk on othjer peoples and if bumping mione means that people know ewhat im talking about then to me... thats a good idea. I know you say no names mentioning and if you mean me then thats cool. :) I know my reasons behind things... thats good enough for me :)
