Depends on when the thread was made; if you created it 4 hours ago, and it's still on the front page, you don't bump it. If it was made several days ago, and has fallen off the front page, that would possibly be allowed.

I think the point that whoever answered that thread was trying to make is that it's someone's job to read the posts here. They might just do it in batches every other day. I know Mal used to spam reply all at once every few days.

But don't just bump the thread with a post consisting solely of "Bump!" I don't think one should ever do that. In fact, I report it whenever I see it, no matter whichever forum I'm in.
This ^
If your thread hasn't been answered after several days, stealth bump with something like: "Can anyone help me? I know it's a difficult question..." etc. Don't just say "Bump", and especially not after less than two days.

Pelf has the right of it. I stick my head in occasionally to see what's going on in the forums but we have people who go through and make sure to capture anything that's a problem into issues so we can process them. :)

Agreed @Funden. If you're going to bump it, at least make an effort. When I'm bugging them about something, I add a little extra info or report some more testing in my bumping posts.

Kind of strange there, I just plucked four hours out of the air, and yet that was how long his thread had been around for.
