If I post a thread asking a question but no-one answers it and I really want an answer, would it be better to bump it or make a new thread?Neither. You could try PMing random people with your questions if you think the forumgoers have a high chance of knowing the answer. If you don't think the average forumgoer will know the answer, then you may be on the wrong website. You could try google maybe? This is the internet, you can find an answer to pretty much anything.
All thread creators "really want" replies to their thread, but that doesn't mean you should bump your own thread. When you bump your thread up, you bump every other thread down. It's not fair to everyone else who follows the rules.
Hope this answers your question!
