I’m going through my community (I am a moderator) and marking any solved posts. Some are very old and were closed but did not yet have an answer, so I answered them, marked them solved, and clicked Reset Bump Date, but they’re still showing at the top of the list when I check our forum. I tried edi…

I believe Reset Bump Date will change the Topic Time Stamp back to the last visible Post submission date if you delete a Post. Obviously if you add a new Post that will represent the new Date/Time. So not what you want here. I think what you need is to change the Topic Timestamp. Try using the a…

No, I don’t think you want to do that. That would mess a lot of things up and would be very hard to revert. Deleting the last post, resetting the bump date, and then undeleting the post can be a good workaround. There’s also the option to not bump the topic in the composer itself when adding a rep…

[image] JammyDodger: Resetting the bump date will take it back to the last activity of the topic preceding the latest change. I don’t think this is right? It will reset it to the time stamp of the last visible Post. So if you add a new Post, it will appear at top of Latest even after resett…

Having just had a quick check, I think reset bump date might be broken. Let me investigate. :eyes:

It seems to have worked! If I delete my post → reset bump date (which seems to clear the ‘Solved’ checkbox from my post) → undelete my post → click ‘Solved’ again on my post → then it no longer appears at the top of the forum list :+1:

That’s a nice workaround! Not sure that’s particularly intuitive though? (So the undeleting step does not change the bump date, interesting!)

I’m glad that worked. :tada: :slight_smile: I’ve slipped it over to the bug category as I don’t think it’s fully working properly at the moment. Hopefully we can get this smoothed out. :crossed_fingers: [image] Robert: It will reset it to the time stamp of the last visible Post. It should r…

[image] JammyDodger: It should reset to the timestamp of the activity just before the latest action Are you sure? [image] Reply without bumping topic 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…

I use this feature almost every day. :slight_smile: There is a chance I’ve had some kind of aneurysm, but I’m fairly confident that it should ‘reverse the bump’. Hmm. :thinking: We might be in aneurysm territory. Having a read around it does seem like what you’re saying is expected. But I have di…

Not embarrassing. This is a surprisingly complex bit of functionality with several edge cases. What is nice here is that it is flexible enough to achieve what the OP desired without a significant downside. All good :+1:
