To The Top and "bump" are just ways of moving the post back to the top of the listed threads.

Edit: Yikes! I must be slow with my mouse today...all those other replies before I could even hit "post."

frequently it's done when someone has an item for sale in parts. or it can be when someone has a question and no answers have come in and the thread is sinking to the bottom of the page where some may not see it.

beatcha, kreuzen!

~ ttt (explained above) ... just a way to move a thread back up to the top/keep it current on page 1. The way the thread format is designed - requires some sort of entry for the system to accept/process the thread update, ergo, ttt or bump.
