Bumping Own Topic With Updates??

[lucasfart]

Ok, as the question says, i have a question in the modding section that has gone off the first page, being about 4 days old and i was the last person to post on it. I cannot keep the topic alive because they changed something in the site so you can only edit your post if you were the last person to post. When i edit a post, it doesn't get bumped to the top again, so if i make an update to my thread, nobody will ever know unless someone goes back a page and restarts it, which is not very likely. Is there any way to slightly bump my own topic, to get it back on the first page, to keep it alive, or should i just start a new topic?

Don't Resurrect Old Topics
This one is important, but is defined by the following:

* A topic that is older than 30 days


The exception to this rule would be if you have useful information to add to an old topic, or if a sticky topic points to the thread you're resurrecting.

Or is the topic locked?

Awesome! Thanks for that Ace, never thought of deleting and reposting my own message .

The_Emperor - It has nothing to do with bumping over 30 days, i mean bumping say, 10 day old topics of my own, to the top of the list again.

If you don't have anything to add to the topic - further information, added questions - then don't bump it in any way.

Here is what your "bumped" post should not look like:

I'm having problems adding vehicles. I've read the tutorial but for whatever reason when I add a vehicle in Zeroeditor it doesn't show up ingame.

*BUMP* still not answered

Edit: I've done some more looking in and it turns out that there are something called "memory pools?" What are these, I've seen them in scripts but I am still confused.

If you have nothing to add, don't bump. Don't make a contrived reason either - if someone didn't answer your original question, it is very likely that either it was a question no one had the answer to or (more likely) that enough information was not provided. Simply reposting the original query doesn't help.

Sorry if you guys misunderstood me there. For lack of a better word i just used bump. What i actually meant was, posting an update/further question on the topic, not just a pointless bumping of a topic.

The_Emperor - It has nothing to do with bumping topics over 30 days. i mean updating a 10 day old topic of my own, and making it show as having new posts and move it back to the first page, where people will read it.

Fixed.

Sorry if i sounded like some stupid idiot who loves bumping topics. This is what i actually meant, i just phrased it extremely badly

No misunderstanding inferred. I just wanted to make it clear that your goal shouldn't be just "making it show as having new posts and move it back to the first page, where people will read it" - new information/questions must be added. As long as you're doing that, then super duper.
