What's up with this?

Two threads: one about hate speech, the other about the "recent surge in hate speech," one by Springer, one by Skeptic Overlord. One from 2009, and one on 4-4-2012. Both threads are now closed, according to information I get on my browser from "Recent Topics." Yet, both keep showing all day a post made by both owner/asministrators as of 11 mins. ago, and my time now is 6:16 pm, Wednesday, August28, 2013.......

Is this showing up on anyone else's Recent Topics? If there are added postings to closed threads, how come it doesn't show up on my computer and browser.


Just a question, sorry. Did someone hit a reset backwards button, and this is my clue Or otherwise, WTH is going on here.

It just means the threads were bumped.

Sometimes the content of a thread needs to be repeated so staff can bump it and make it appear on the more recent posts list.

Hope that helps!

Even if the threads say they were closed, in one case years ago, and say under Recent Posts that something was posted on a "closed" thread 11 min. ago? But obviously, when I click on said thread, there is no new posting as it was a closed thread?

Thanks for replying. Just trying to figure this out......

A bump isn't a reply, it's just a "move to the top of the list". It shows up as a reply, when nothing was actually added to the thread.

Bump.

Only their bumps don't say "bump".
