PM = Private Message. If you click on my name 'zsas' it will allow you to send me a message inside Apug that only I would get. I guess I would consider it something like intra-Apu-email or akin


Bump - say I list a camera for sale a week ago and no one replies. I can just hit reply to my own thread and say "bump" which really means its still avail

PM sent means you sent a private message to the seller. Bump is posted to 'bump' a thread to the top of the list.

I think this thread is in the wrong forum...?

PM= Private Message.
bump= a message that is added for the purpose bringing or bumping the topic back to the top discussion list.

PM sent is a notice that the poster wants to buy the product offered.

It's a way of establishing one's place in line, if more than one person is interested.

It also advises others that the product is potentially sold, subject to confirmation by the seller.

It's easy to think of 'bump' as an acronym for 'bring up my post'
