Hello. In a Forum I moderate for, we recently updated from February 2026 to July 2026 release, and I am unsure if this is intended or a bug. We have auto-bumping enabled on our Support category threads, and before the update, they used to give an “Unread message” indicator and bold the thread name…

I don’t know answer, sorry, but aren’t you basically asking that auto bump should show to all users a false unread status?

I wouldn’t call it false. There is a new post in the topic, not a full reply, but a small action post. A while ago a preference was added to let users choose whether the small action post, that a topic was closed should mark the topic as unread, but I am not sure it still works. I asked about it in…

Small actions have zero meaning content wise for ordinary users. And a forum has plenty those users compared to govermental ones :man_shrugging: Sure, by definition those are new posts. But the definition isn’t that important, context and content is.

A bump can work as a nudge for users to select a solution or otherwise update the topic. That doesn’t work without marking the topic as unread. It’s not something only relevant to staff. @Joshua8600 I think you would now need a normal reply in the topic. The new workflow plugin can probably help yo…

But why the change after that’s how it worked for over 2 years at least? [圖片] Jagster: I don’t know answer, sorry, but aren’t you basically asking that auto bump should show to all users a false unread status? The whole point of a bump is for people to look at it. If there isn’t an unread p…

[圖片] Joshua8600: The whole point of a bump is for people to look at it. Yes, I realize that purpose. But that point hits everyone. Totally different thing, but still the same result: in Facebook groups is quite common habit to tell to a OP that one wants to send a PM, but that bump is sended …

[圖片] Jagster: Well, for that there is an easy solution: do not use auto bump :man_shrugging: Or do I miss something obvious now? Auto-bump functioned like this (giving an unread topic marker) for years and then got changed in an update in the last 5-6 months. I am asking if this was an inte…

[圖片] Joshua8600: I am asking if this was an intended change or a bug because it seems odd to make the feature effectively useless now and remove its sole reason to exist. I’m not sure about everybody else but I always figured the point of a bump was to have it rank higher in site-wide search …

Bumping was always a way to get new eyes on a topic; instead of a thread being buried, new eyes can see it that maybe can help out, or to check back in if something was forgotten.
