thebrig Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Just wondering why there isn't a bump option when you list in "Items Wanted", once anything I've listed has dropped down a few pages, I have to create a completely new listing which surely clutters up the section. Is there a reason for not having a bump option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I think we tried it but it didn't work - we've got a test site up now and it's on the list of things to fix and push to the live site. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noisyjon Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Thread resurrection!!! @Hamster, @Kiwi, @ped Chaps, is it possible to get the 'bump' button introduced on 'Items Wanted' posts please? Cheers, Jon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Do you mean this bump function? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noisyjon Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Hi @Kiwi - I don't have that 'bump this topic' button available with my login! That's exactly what I was asking about though. Cheers, Jon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I’ve never seen a bump option on any of my wanted ads 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I don't have any quick answers at this point in time, I'm sorry. @Woodinblack are you able to shed any light on it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its something I just noticed, since I was administrator I get the bump option but i am pretty sure you don't see it otherwise (and obviously as admin you get bump on everything so that isn't ideal!), so I assume it is a group feature. I will have a look tonight and see if I can enable it on the wanted forum 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Sorry for the delay on this, the lack of bump on the Items Wanted forum is actually a feature of the plugin that makes bumping work, I am currently trying to work out if there is a way round it! 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 its odd how only admin can see it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I could be wrong, but I thought it was linked to the block on posting replies, which admins can also do but normal users cannot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 6 hours ago, Kiwi said: its odd how only admin can see it though It isn't, that is actually the reason. It uses the bump mechanism of the replies, which are blocked on that forum, so if you can actualy reply you see the bump (as it is enabled). There is a check to ensure you can reply before permitting it. Even taking the check out the button is not there, but I am assuming that is the cache, I just can't yet find it 6 minutes ago, pete.young said: I could be wrong and in the words of the song, you could be right. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noisyjon Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Hi @Woodinblack, any news on this subject please? If it's not possible can we ask a Mod to bump a wanted ad for us? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodinblack Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 At the moment, no it is very entrenched in the way that the forum operates, in that the bump bar uses the same bit of 'furniture' as the reply button, and without the reply it is not there. I haven't given up, I am looking at other ways! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 There is probably a newer plugin we could use instead of that one which is no longer being developed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked. It is up to date and works, it just is an issue with the way the forum works. I am sure there is a way round it, but I am lacking some info!

Woodinblack Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 5 minutes ago, Reggaebass said: Did you ever find out if it could be done 🙂 It can't be easily done because it works by putting a button on the bar that the reply button is on, which is obviously missing on a forum in which you can't reply (which is why mods can see it). it could be done with another plugin but currently I don't have access to being able to make new plugins. Certainly it isn't something I have ruled out, as I would like to be able to do plugins, as I think there are a few we could do with and I do think it would be a good thing as I think it would make the wanted forum a lot more useful (as would closing things you no longer want). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
