Yea, so this thread is a simple question.. because I'm new here and see this alo,t all over the place - but I don't really understand it.. As per the topic of this post, I want to know: What does posting 'Reserved' as a reply imply? Is it like a 'bump - to keep the topic going? 'er what..? Thanks.
It allows the original creator of the discussion thread to reserve space at the beginning of the discussion to post updates so that they can easily be found rather than having to search through dozens of pages of comments to find the ones that the thread originator feels are important.
Later the thread originator can use the "edit" button on that post to change it's content and provide updates.
As you can see in this discussion, even if the comments here were to reach 100 pages, I could at any time come back and edit the content of my "Reserved for future updates" post allowing me to say something I feel is important and have it seen as the second post of the thread (where people would be far more likely to find it).
