Hello, I have a suggestion regarding this feature. I would like the selection of topics to be bumped to be based not only on the choice of categories, but also on the interest shown by site visitors in the past. This could be the number of views or votes, or something similar. The age of the topic could also be a criterion, so that, for example, topics less than a certain number of months old are not included. And then I’d like to reiterate my suggestion below, which didn’t go down very well, but which I consider to be my biggest problem… Thanks.

> Hi, is there a way for auto bumped topics to show only the last auto bump alert message and not the whole history of them? Thanks. I think for a user, seeing that a topic has been bumped 10 times in the past, and when, is useless.
