Bumping Threads

[p_rehbein]

When I signed in this morning, I saw this thread:

http://christianchat.com/bible-discussion-forum/115102-trinity-twoness-oneness.html


When I opened it to read the comments, I saw that it was first posted in 2013, and the last RECORDED comment was in April of this year. Yet, when I looked at the Forum Page, it showed that the last comment was 20 hours ago.

My question is: How does one BUMP a zombie thread up to the first page of a Forum WITHOUT leaving a trail of their doing so? By that I mean, doesn't one have to record a "comment" to BUMP the thread up?

Now, the answer would clearly be "apparently not," since this person pulled it off, so how does one BUMP a thread up without leaving/posting a comment? Never mind WHY they would, don't want to get into the reasoning, just the technical aspects of doing it.

Weird

Ok, (foot thumping floor wildly) I'm waiting on an answer..........y'all JUST GONNA leave me hanging here?

My best guess: maybe someone posted, then deleted their post ?

Hmm, I did not think of that............ Maybe, just maybe. Wonder if I should try that to see if it works?

Thanks

I just tried a test run by finding one of my old threads and posting a comment bringing it to the first page, then deleting the comment........the thread did not remain on the first page of the Forum, so I guess it does not work that way.....sigh.......
