# Thread Bumping

### Thread Bumping Documentation

This documentation provides information on how to bump threads on our platform, including manual and automatic bumping options. Bumping threads helps bring them to the forefront of the forum and attract more attention. Please follow the guidelines below:

#### 1. Manual Thread Bumping

You can manually bump your threads by following these steps:

* Locate the thread you want to bump.
* Click on the "Bump Thread" button within the thread.

Note: You can manually bump each of your threads every 1 hour.

#### 2. Automatic Thread Bumping

You can automate the process of thread bumping by purchasing an [<mark style="color:blue;">automatic thread bumper</mark>](https://xplore.gg/bits/) from the Bits Store. This allows your threads to be bumped automatically without manual intervention.

* Visit the [<mark style="color:blue;">Bits Store</mark>](https://xplore.gg/bits/) and acquire the automatic thread bumper.
* Configure the automatic thread bumper by going to your [<mark style="color:blue;">inventory</mark>](https://xplore.gg/inventory/) and clicking the "Configure" button, then input your thread ID.
* Once activated, the automatic thread bumper will automatically bump your threads every 1 hour.

Note: Automatic thread bumps do not expire until they are activated with a thread. Once a thread is set, it will be bumped until its expiration date.

#### 3. Bump Message Display

An icon (![](https://890492573-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FymlVa7HqifbzbNaEj5N7%2Fuploads%2FunjpJHtE43HLKRMxeif2%2F%D0%9D%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%8B%D0%B9%20%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%87%D0%B5%D1%87%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B9%20%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%83%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%BA.svg?alt=media\&token=14c338ec-9c0a-435b-a5cc-58a3e3f535f2)) will be displayed in the top left corner of the first post in the thread (next to the date of the original post). This icon indicates the timespan between bumps, allowing other users to see the bump frequency of the thread.

**Important Note:** The purpose of these bumping features is to prevent spam posts where users constantly post "bump" to bring their threads to the front of the forum. Engaging in such spamming activities is strictly prohibited and considered spam. If caught doing so, you may receive a warning.
