star question

[cuddlycuddles]

Hello,
I am curious to know why some people have little rotating stars next to their names and others don't?
I can't figure it out...

Thanks,

I think that means the person is currently online. :)

Magicloaf is correct. When someone has a rotating star beside their SN, they are currently online. When they don't, they're not. :) Do keep in mind that you are allowed to be invisible too though so if someone's invisible, they will not have a star.

Okay, here's my question. What's the bumping thing about, you know, how sometimes you see on a thread someone will post a "bump." I have no idea what that means! :dizzy:

Bump is what some people use to make their post current again. Usually it is used for the classifieds to bring the post to the top again and make it more visible.
It can also be used when urgent information is required.

Personally I find it annoying. I much prefer if the poster actually says something like "Hi I still have the babies for sale" or "I really do need help on this" rather than BUMP. :laugh:

Ah, the mystery is revealed! :applause: I agree, it's a little ambiguous, to say the least. Thanks for the response!
