The Bump Is Back

Now that the shockwaves of excitement from the redesign have left the atmosphere, we’re moving onto making little splashes here and there to refine the experience. With our ever-growing wisdom, we’re bringing back some of your favorite features that, for one reason or another, we’re too advanced (or buggy) for their time. The one we are most excited about Reduxing into the new design is The Bump.

The Bump action was a fantastic way to make sure that the best of Redux surfaced to the top each time someone propped or commented on it. It’s unique dynamic also made hanging out on the stream exciting. However, it did get a bit annoying when eon-old content continually resurfaced. To solve this, we’re giving all new posts a 10-hour bumpability window. This means that everything will be given a full day’s chance to get lots of propping and commenting action, and will then settle comfortably into the chronology of the stream thereafter.

Give something a bump and see for yourself!
