Can someone explain what a "bump" and a "thread" are?

Also, is there a place that explains what all the shortcut abbreviations are for things such as WW, WH, etc.?

Thanks!

Bump: It means to post another message to the topic in order to get it back to the top of listed topics for others to see immediately.

Used for a couple of reasons:

1. If someone has posted a topic and is seeking more input, they may "bump" the topic up to the top.

2. Used for really good posts, especially Success Stories that give everyone encouragement or for "newbies" to see.

A "thread" is all of the replies that have been posted inside a topic.

Read the following topic, which is for Newbies to take a look at, there is a link inside this one to read all of the acronyms:
