Question on grammar of settings page поднятия тем

First, I am guessing поднятия тем refers to what we'd call in English "bumping" a topic - making it go back to the top of the list.

But here's the main thing I was wondering about: on this page, it says "Всего поднятий за сегодня: 0." Why is this in the genetive case? And I just noticed additionally: why is всего singular genetive but поднятий is plural? I know осталось takes the genetive but it's not used here.

 

Всего means total(Sum, result). Since there might be multiple(more than one) bumping поднятие is used as plural поднятий. So translation would be: "Total of bumps for today: 0". With zero being used as a counter.

Russian sometimes is harder for computer programs, since words might have different endings depending on the context. That's why this sentence is written in particular way.

 

Okay, so basically this use is just a special meaning of всего. It's used when giving a total, when summing things together.

 

Also, you might want to know about forum's rules.
Правила форума
Rule 11:

While, technically there is a counter for bumping - by forum's rules it's allowed to bump your thread only once in a week. Either by writing meaningless messages or using bump button. In places where dedicated button is available - you should use button, not write meaningless messages. And "bumping" here used for writing of meaningless messages just for the sake of rising thread. Writing meaningful posts is allowed.

That's my rough translation of the rule : original is more elegant and polite in wording.

UPD. Clarification for what bumping means in particular context.

It's primal meaning of всего - alltogether, in all. Нас было всего двое. There were only two of us(total). Всего лишь пять минут до полуночи. (In total there are)Only five minutes before midnight. Всего хорошего. (Wish you)All best. Всего ничего. All( of it is next to) nothing. Almost nothing.
