Bump Topic button?

[tn5421]

Since when has this been a thing? Why isn't it at the top of the page rather than at the bottom?

from what I can tell it's a somewhat buggy feature built in. I enabled it primarily for my listmods. I thought it was only enabled for them, but I guess I'll need to go through and remove the access for others.

I can think of a minor use for it as a game moderator, if you edit the last post and want to make sure people see it (for example if there's a replacement in the night phase and you don't make a new post for it but edit the night start post, which a lot of people seem to do, or editing a notice about pregame replacements into the post about when the game will start, or if you make a placeholder post that you're going to edit the flip into later, it would be good to bump it once you edit the flip into it.)

Would that bump it in people's bookmarks too? or just in the forum view? Probably both, but...

Either way, when I'm in my bookmarks, I just look at what's unread, not necessarily what's at the top. So it'd still be better to just make a new post, as a mod in that situation.

both. it works by changing the time stamp of the last post in the topic, making that last post unread.

You're playing with fire by giving tn access to this

i'm not a fan of changing any timestamps... that's... undesirable.
