There is this Beta copy of the Bump MOD that you can install. You might want to read through to see how people are reacting to it before you install it. I didn't do that, so I don't know if everyone is happy with it or if it has problems...
[BETA] Bump Topic 0.0.3

hehe. I still didn't understand what is bump topic!
I read the MOD description which says "This MOD adds a "Bump Topic" button in viewtopic.
When clicked, an automatic hidden post is added to the topic updating the topic time and new post flags.
But can any one explain in baby english so that i can understand it  |

Since topics are displayed with the most recent post, some topics can quickly drop off the radar and onto the next page. If someone wants their post to stay close to the top, they typically post a new message witht he word bump in it so that the topic moves back up to the top of the page. This can get annoying if someone is bumping a topic that no one is interested in seeing. But it also can help on active forums where a topic falls off the page before most people get a chance to read it. So this MOD bumps the topic without adding a nonsense bump post...

Woww. This is great MOD but the disadvantage you told me can effect more on my board because many people can try their posts to come on top every time so better I won't install this MOD.
 <---- I love this emoticon by the way |

This isn't something that I would install here either. But it can be handy for some I'm sure...

I've never seen this MOD before, so I have no idea how it is designed to work or whether there are options to limit the bumps to admins or if everyone has access to it. You can install it and see what happens and if you don't like it you can always Restore the EM Backups...

| Yeah ok, i dont think it would matter with me either way as my forum is only small really, and my members would probably not think of bumping the posts up lol |
