• Enable Absorber: Prevent discussions from being bumped too frequently by new posts
• Time Threshold: Minimum hours required between discussion creation and allowing auto-bumps from new posts
  • Set to 0 to disable absorber
  • For example, setting to 2 means new posts won't bump the discussion for the first 2 hours after creation
• Apply to Tags: Select specific tags where absorber should be active (empty = all tags)
• Bypass Groups: Select groups whose posts will always bump discussions immediately

Customize settings for specific user groups (overrides global settings):

• Manual Bump Settings: Override cooldown, daily quota, and weekly quota per group
• Absorber Settings: Override absorber threshold per group
• Leave fields empty to use global defaults
• Set to 0 for unlimited/bypass
• Priority: Group settings > Global defaults

View recent bump activity with details:

• Discussion title and link
• Bump type (Manual/Automatic/Absorber)
• User who performed the bump
• Timestamp

• Sellers can bump their listings every 24 hours with manual bump
• Prevent spam with daily/weekly quotas
• VIP members get more bump allowances via group overrides
• Absorber prevents new listings from being bumped by rapid replies

• Discussion owners can bump unanswered questions
• Staff bypass all restrictions with moderator groups
• Absorber keeps new questions organized for first few hours

• Keep active discussions at the top with manual bumping
• Fair bumping with cooldown controls
• Group-based privileges for supporters
• Absorber prevents spam bumping on trending topics

Settings are resolved in this order:

1. Group Override (if user belongs to group with override)
2. Global Default (if no group override applies)

• Cooldown: Time restriction applies per discussion, not globally
• Quotas: Reset based on rolling time windows (not midnight)
  • Daily quota: Last 24 hours from current time
  • Weekly quota: Last 7 days from current time
  • Quotas are tracked per user across all discussions
• Moderator Groups: Can bump ANY discussion and bypass all cooldown/quota restrictions

• Threshold Check: Based on discussion age (time since creation), not last bump time
• First Bump: First post always allowed to bump the discussion
• Manual Bump Protection: When absorber blocks a post, it preserves any manual bumps
• Bypass Options:
  • Global bypass groups: Users in these groups always bump discussions
  • Group override threshold 0: Per-group absorber bypass
• Tag Control: Works only on selected tags (or all if empty)

The extension automatically clears all caches when you save settings in admin panel.

If you modify database values manually, run:
