As a staff member you sometimes have the need to post a reply without bumping the topic to the top of the list. And now you can do exactly that.

There’s a new “ **Toggle topic bump** ” in the composer’s reply selector.

An anchor will appear at the top of the composer when bumping is disabled.

Another new feature is the “ **Reset Bump Date** ” action in topic wrench menu.  
It changes the topic’s bump date to the date of the last visible post in the topic.

That’s quite useful when the last post has been deleted, since deleting a post doesn’t reset the topic’s bump date. Or, you replied with the new “no bump” option and changed your mind…
