Simple Questions

[shu6679]

Hey all,

This is my first message on AnandTech Forum so be gentle.
I have several questions, confusions that someone could
provide me with the answers to.

1. What is "bump?" Like bumping up the number of replies
so people would read the post? I see it in For Sale/Trade a lot.
2. What are B&M and IMHO? Can someone send me a
link to an internet acronym site or just tell me some of
the more popular ones used in this forum.

Thanks

Yes also seen as TTT or ^ or any other way of saying bump.

There is a list of those terms somewhere...couldn't tell ya where as I don't remember but

BUMP is used in For Sale and Trade to keep items at the top of the forum...there is a limit.

B&M is "Brick and Mortar" as in a store you have to step inside
IMHO = In My Humble (or Honest for some) Opinion

Enjoy!

Thanks guys.

This might be kind of unbelievable but it took me 2 days to figure out
how to subscribe to this forum. At first, I keep using my hotmail and
yahoo e-mail in the join page and everytime I try to join, it'll just tell
me I have no permission or something of that sort. Then, I found
out from reading help that certain email addresses are not allowed.

Stupid Me!

Anyway, thanks again.
Oh, I'm already hooked on these forums. I have reading these forums
