I've got a thread that I periodically bump up once it hits page 2 (in a semi-moderately moving forum, so I'm only bumping it once every day or 2) and I've noticed that at least 3-4 times since I started bumping it because discussion died down, the bump counter (visible to thread owners) has been reset back to 0 - and this isn't just a display issue, because when I bump it again it goes up to 1 and stays there....for a while lol.

Has anyone else been having this issue?
Things may be looking down now, but I see a light at the end of the tunnel;
Do you think I should get off the tracks?

Nope, I have less issues with the bump-button as I barely use it but at least your thread is still being bumped so it functions the way you wanna use it. :) They will fix it somewhere in the future.

That's really strange! I'll pass this along to Jagex to see if it's a known issue or if something's just wonky.

Not certain why a screenshot would be useful, it's just the text saying Bump (#) and it keeps resetting on me - it's not a big deal, I just noticed it and it's been bothering a small part of me lol Things may be looking down now, but I see a light at the end of the tunnel;

You are right. I just wanted to see a comparison of two screenshots before and after the bump reset to 0. I am glad that CM Nick forwarded this to the respective department at Jagex to be evaluated.

It's been an issue that's gone on for years, at least 5. I have a thread that I used to bump quite a lot, and then noticed that whenever I bumped to 3000, it would reset back to 2999 (see below image).



Even if you bump it now, it'll show 3000 on the counter, until you refresh the page, or go back to the main subforum, then back into the thread. I've just always assumed that 2999 may have been the bump counter max, because I have definitely bumped the thread more than 3000 times.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.

Interesting - since I'm only bumping every day or two, I'm noticing the reset happens at around 5 bumps myself... and it's going all the way back down to 0 for me. Things may be looking down now, but I see a light at the end of the tunnel;
