What does "bump to voting" mean?

Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Sometimes Mahalo gets stuck.. Someone will answer a question and it still shows as unanswered.

This can be remedied a couple of ways:
1. using the report button. This just makes more work for Mahalo staff. They are overworked and understaffed already.
2. Make a comment. I like "Bump", some people use "Bump to voting". This will allow the answer to be seen by Mahalo and therefore the question will show as having an answer. It will then move to the voting section..

Its good to see 'bump to voting' as it shows people are looking out for other members....

This also works with the NEW direct answer indicator that gets stuck. I mention it here:
Welcome Wednesdays - Teach a New User a Random Mahalo Trick?

It is just a prompt for people to vote. There is a problem existing on Mahalo where some questions have "0 answers" noted by the question but if you actually click on the question you will see that people have answered. Because there is a "0" next to answers these questions are just in limbo. Commenting on an answer within the question is one of the actions that will bump the question to the "Undecided" list where it can then be voted on.

See Mahalo question below which asked people who find these questions to comment with the word "vote" or answer the question yourself. "Bump to vote" is just a variation on that"
