Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
Lastout, it's not a stupid question at all. The main use of the bump is to bring a particular thread back to the top of the list if the questions weren't resolved AND to hopefully prevent someone from creating a new thread on the same question or issue. More than one thread about the same question confuses folks and wastes valuable bandwidth that iboats graciously gives us.
