Default Another Newbeeee Question???

What does the TTT actually mean and why do we use it. I know it means To The Top, other than that, I'm lost.

Also Bump, lost on this one also.

Thanks for the help

TTT is used to bring a thread to the top of the page. The threads are listed in order of their most recent post.

If a thread is not posted to in a long time, it will fall toward the bottom. 'TTT' or 'bump' is used to bring a thread back to the top of the page where it's more likely to be seen.

Sometimes, just to have a litte fun, people get creative with their bumps:

Oh, so when u TTT someones thread, then their post moves back up to the top of the post for what ever section they are in. So it does not drop below a bunch of new post/threads.

em I close?

Yep, you're getting closer.




Many people (like myself) only look at the first dozen or so threads in a given section. We just don't feel like scrolling down to look at the older topics.

If a thread falls down toward the bottom of the page, a "TTT" will bring her back to up where people are more likely to see her.
