FAQ:​

• Can users schedule bumps instead of bumping manually? Yes. Autobumps can run at regular intervals or at specific configured times.
• Can both one-time bumps and autobumps be sold? Yes. Forums can offer paid manual bumps, while autobump types can be free, one-time purchases, or recurring purchases.
• ⏸ Does pausing an autobump consume its remaining duration? No. When an autobump is resumed, its end date is extended by the paused duration.
