And posted a specific website, please stop. If you want to advertise something, ask Yael or mods how to go about that. Bumping up multiple old threads, some from years ago, on the same topic & post a specific advertisement/website, is annoying and suspicious.

We’re having so much of it lately. Bumping random threads with irrelevant replies when the op long resolved her issue.... it’s probably the same poster.

Easiest to just report her. I did that on one of the many threads.
By the way, threads like this dont help because she may not actually look at this thread.

How is it helpful to randomly bump up many old threads when no one asked for such information now? It seems like free advertising.

Speaking as a mod;
Threads more than a month old should not be bumped and definitely not for posting websites and ads. It costs money to put an ad on this website. If you want to post an ad, you must contact Yael, the admin. You can PM her at this link: https://www.imamother.com/foru.....p;u=3
In general spamming the board with the same post after post bumping up old threads is just not polite internet etiquette.

You should know for the future that bumping up many old threads & posting the same advertisement in each of the threads, is just not proper & very annoying & not helpful.

How were your bumping? Was it a contributing/following up post? Those are usually okay. But please realize that no one owes anyone a follow up. If for whatever reason an OP decides not to reply that is her right. Just don't continuously bump up threads.

If other people need this information, they can find it the same way that you did. In the meantime, this is not information that anyone asked for.

I caught myself when I was a new poster. I made an account because I needed information about something. I looked through threads on the topic, was going to post a reply...and realized it was 5 years old. This was back when the related threads on bottom weren't restricted to recent threads. It was easy to get pulled into a rabbit hole of a specific topic and forget to check the date.
It's also a bit of a learning curve for new posters that all responses to different forums end up on the main page. Not everyone reads the new user's guide. (Don't look at me, I'm way to anxious not to have read everything before even thinking about posting).

Did the same mistake!
The thread title caught my attention at the bottom so I quickly opened it.
It was for advice what to do with her baby and I responded to her the op actually responded saying the kid was 13 😂 not colicky anymore Baruch hashem. I was so confused. My eyesight isn't the greatest and I honestly can't see the date on the thread. I assumed it was new because why would I be able to get to such an old thread

What adds get bumped when bumping a thread?
If I go to a thread from years ago I'll see old adds?

I don't get why there can't be a disclaimer on old threads 'this thread is napping' or something similar, like I've seen on other sites. People often don't bother looking at the date on threads and can post an answer to threads as if it's current. If there was something warning them, it would be so much easier to prevent this.
