I logged off for a few hours and when I came back I noticed my trade post said next bump in 3 hours despite the post being 5 hours old which makes me wonder if it got auto bumped? I didn't even have jsp open an hour ago. Any idea why this happened or if there is a way to prevent it? I am about to go to bed and would rather not look like an ass when I can't respond to any offers

Was it while you were offline. did someone post in your topic?

I had 2 people post in the topic while I was offline.

So, you got your answer. If someone made a post in your topic, the time of the next bump goes back to 4 hours

Any act of replying to a topic will bump the topic up.

Hi Skorpio,

There isn’t an auto bump feature on jsp, all posts need to be bumped manually. You can respond to offers on your posts just don’t make back to back posts within 4 hours. A good idea is to quote multiple posts in a thread and reply to all offers you want in a single reply. Hope this guidance helps.
