Kssshhh (that's my "oh so obvious" thing), if you can help, please do! :I

Re: Duh, I should know this but...
When a topic gets a new post it moves to the top of the page. Bump posts are deliberate posts to move a topic back to the top of the page.

Yep - otherwise they descend to page 340 of the forums after a while, never to be seen again!

I know the answer has been said above but, the Scratch Wiki is a great source of information. Here is an article on Bumping and Necroposting.

They work so your topic will get more posts.

Re: Duh, I should know this but...
They don’t actually work. The bold topics go away, or de-bump, when you go way and come back. It’s “new posts since your last visit” so bumping a post only brings it to the top of YOUR bold post.
But there is a chance that it goes to the top of someone else’s too, so there’s no reason to stop bumping.

A and C are the same thing.
