You probably got this link from someone who was mad at your useless bump. (mostly me he he).
IF YOU WANT TO REPLY TO A TOPIC
Here is a quick rundown of how to determine whether to post a new reply or not.
1. First, there is some time figuring to do. Look at the date of the last post.
You can find that: here
2. Now, If you think that your post is extremely relevant, even though the topic is over a month old, see number 3. If not, don't post.
3. Okay you really want to say how long the wii will last or you want to yell at lansaguy for not reading the whole thread, consider the first post of the topic.
here is where that is located.
If you look closely, this thread only lasted 2 days, which suggests that the original poster got his answer, or people just don't care anymore. You should probably not post anything. If each post was a few days or hours apart and the thread spanned a couple of months, it might be grounds for a bump.
IF YOU WANT ANSWERS TO YOUR THREAD AND WANT TO DOUBLE POST
1. Consider the time you posted.
This is an example of a bad bump.
He even admits only 35 minutes. Replies on this forum will take a couple days or more, despite the 20,000+ members.
If for a couple days, you STILL don't get an answer. Consider MAYBE bumping by not saying "bump" but introducing a more specific question, or wording it in a different way. Another idea would be to drop the question all together or SEARCH for your answer. Perhaps some people have read this but either don't know or don't want to respond because it has been asked so many times before.
Rep me for this if it's good. If not, just go on...lol
