Is there a new "bump" feature on the forum ?

I have come across a post of mine where a "last bumped by ..." mention was added :

This part is added by the forum, as it doesn't appear if I try to edit or quote my post.
Is this a new feature ? I haven't been able to find how to do the same thing, and it's the first time I see this.

Maybe someone turned it on for a short time. It looks like this is a feature of phpBB that you only need to activate.
(But I don't know which version we are running here)

You can always ask the person who did it ;)

As far as I can tell It's still possible, but only for topics you were the last commenter

Edit: nevermind, works as well for topics I'm not longer the last commenter.

Indeed, found this on a thread I posted as last, but not on posts I'm not last

I think it appears when you created the first post of the topic OR when you are the last to have commented on it but the post isn't already "bumped"

Yeah, that checks with my observations.
Also, see the FAQ: How do I bump my topic?

I edited 3 time the message you quoted because of new observations contradicting previous version :lol: nice to see some clarification

Thanks all for your contribution :)
This bump feature is rather well hidden, and not very intuitive. For example I can't bump this thread with it, despite having created it, and not being the last poster on it :

... Probably because a hidden time threshold hasn't been reached since I posted.

Probably due to "bump interval" being set to 10 days.

Thanks, Boskid, for the confirmation :)
