##############################################################Synopsis
This MOD adds a "bump topic" button next to the post buttons at the bottum of every post. It enabeles anyone to bump the post without any further ado. All posting related matters are handled automatically, and whoever bumped the topic will simply receive a small pop-up that confirms that the bump has taken place. In the pop-up there is also a link to close the pop-up and return to the forum that the topic was in plus a similar link that jumps to the topic instead.
Admin gets a new module entitled "Post Bumps" under the Forum Admin. This module enables admin to purge all Auto bump posts and resync topics accordingly.
Special attention has been paid to the following:
Auto bump does not count as a user post Auto bump does not insert data into the search tables Auto bump posts are hidden Auto bump posts are marked "[BUMP]" In viewforum (topic last post) and link to last post is removed. Auto bump posts do not trigger email notification (who wants to go look at a topic that has merely been bumped). Auto bump posts do not count when computing topic pagination for topics and viewforum topic "go to page". Only Topic Starter, Admin, and Moderator can auto bump posts.Ideas for improvements (ACP):
Settable allowed bump interval Settable max bumps per topicThis MOD is made in response to a request in the MOD request forum. Then I noticed that a bump mod already exists. I don't know how that MOD would differ from this one and which one would fit your needs the best. Try both I'd say....
