Bump option?

[Phenom]

Is there a way to have a bump option for threads since they auto-merge? There are times when I add a new trailer for an upcoming movie to a thread and it hasn't been replied to in a couple of weeks and it just auto-merges it and the thread stays right where it is in the list of pages.

There's no way to bump threads that I'm aware of. Like you. I would love to have this option available to members if it's possible. Perhaps there's a plug in or something that we can ask @Ash about.

There's a plugin that does this: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/ozzmodz-banxix-bump-thread.8128/

This is perfect. I don't want to get rid of the auto-merge function as there was a brief period where some users were double posting to get up higher in the TPOM (none of you guys ). Will look into getting this added on to the forum later today @Phenom

Thanks a bunch man! There's a bunch of movies I made threads for way back when they were first released and only had some sneak previews or glimpses and now there's official trailers or new trailers that I want to update the thread with to bump it and it just auto-merges and it was all for nothing until someone else replies to it.

This is perfect.

Glad that plugin will work for you!

We may have to delay this slightly until we look into it further or find an alternative plugin. When a thread is "bumped", all it does is updated the time of the last post which I don't like. It just messes up things. I would prefer for nothing to be changed except for the thread simply being taken to the top of the threads list.

If we can't figure it out, the auto-merge thing will be adjusted to allow you guys to bump threads.

Sounds good, I'm surprised there isn't a timer for how long it 'merges' before it overrides it after say a week or two and then just bumps the thread versus merging.

Just realised, this might be a permissions issue with your group. It was meant to be 24 hours so anything after that is not auto-merged. It should be fixed now

This would do what you want @Ash. It isn't free unfortunately, but I can recommend the developer.
