Wanted: GMs not really updating


I made a post in "Wanted: GMs" and have gotten 3 replies...

But... RPol doesn't make it LOOK like there've been any replies until one actually clicks on the thread to open it.

It still says the last reply was Monday, which isn't true.

What's up with that?

Looking at the rules for the Wanted: GMs forum it looks like bump calming is in effect for that, just like it is for the Players Wanted forum. So...regardless of how many replies you get, threads are only flagged as having new posts once a week.

i see the thread light up all the time?  I assume 'GMs  Wanted"  may only be bumped   every 7 days.... on the other hand, any one who isn't the original poster , shoud light  up when they post....Yu guys tell me? I never  used  the thread.

There are specific rules for the "Wanted - GMs" forum. As follows:

"(...) no matter how many replies are made to a thread, it will only be 'bumped' to the top of the forum once per week, maximum, and this is the only time a New Message Indicator (NMI) will show for that thread.  If you are interested in a thread, be sure to check it regularly rather than relying upon its NMI to tell you when replies have been made.  If you reply to a thread and do not see it bumped, then your reply was too early."

Welp, I guess that would explain it. Confusing on one hand, but I guess this means there's not a glitch on the other hand. So... I guess it balances out?
