No you can't.
Pick one that has been replied to, or one that is quite old, and you get a message at the bottom that says it's been edited.

You can see the message after you have pressed "submit" and then looked at the post later.

I've just done a quick check back through the threads I have started and it's a small number compared with the number and length of my posts more generally. I cannot remember starting a thread in the 'For sale etc section.

One I started on 28 Nov hasn't got the bump button, but everything in October has. That suggests to me that a post has to to be older than a certain date (as somebody has already suggested) and that may well be a month. In which case, it may be useless for the only section where it might have a use. :?

PS I'll support whatever you say Graham. In the meantime, my wife has been out with her chums. When she comes home she may well ask what I have been doing. What am I going to say 'I've been conteplating my bump button?' She'll never believe me. :(

PPS By coincidence she's just arrived home so I'm off to cover my tracks. :shock:

Open to misuse?
Easy to do and without a message?

Why?
I can see no reason, and as you suggest, TC, the only place it might be of use, it already gets auto deleted.

Funny, I never noticed the button before!

Neither had I - probably why mine is full of fluff. :wink:
