Code:
obj
    var
        mess
    Sign
        icon='Madjarjarbinks.dmi'
        icon_state="afk"
        density=1
        Bump(mob/character)
            character<<browse(mess,"window=Sign")


Problem description:

Whenever I bump it, nothing happens...

I know that it sets the ''mess'' var because I build it and I set the message.

Changing the window name will do nothing your post was about as help as this post right here.

The problem is that you misunderstand Bump()..

What is there to misunderstand? Simple: Bump() is called on the _bumper_ ("bumpee") and NOT on the bumped object [meaning it calls bumper.Bump() NOT bumped.Bump()]

A simple solution is to create your own procedure.. let's say like Bumped(): 
atom
  proc/Bumped(atom/A) return 1  //Makes the Bumped() procedure available, making you define it as how you would define built-in procedures

  movable/Bump(atom/A)
    ..()  //calls the normal Bump() information on src (src=bumper)
    A.Bumped(src)  //Calls A's Bumped() after src.Bump() is finished doing whatever it is doing.
That code above is basically plug and play.. so copy it in somewhere but try to understand what I actually did. Now after that's placed in, you can use Bumped() as how you use Bump()..so now change the obj/sign's Bump() to Bumped()

Ghost, I tried it, but I can't figure out how to make it work.

Just simply copy the code I posted and paste it somewhere (do not modify it unless you know what you are doing).

Than change 
obj/Sign/Bump(mob/character)
to 
obj/Sign/Bumped(mob/character)
(Note the -ed that was added on).


Bump() -> Built-in procedure -> Called on the object that bumps INTO something

Bumped() -> Created procedure -> Called on the object that was bumped BY something, after Bump() is done.

Still nothing happens

Change obj/Sign/Bumped(mob/character) to Bumped(mob/character)


when I refered to obj/Sign/Bumped(), I meant 
obj
  Sign
     Bumped(..)

Can you show the latest snippet? Also, remember... like Bump(), Bumped() does not particularly look for the type you entered in the argument so safety check >_> And also "debug", eg: adding world<<"I have been hit" within the Bumped() proc to make sure it actually works (if the message did appear but the popup didn't, I conclude that there was no message entered)

Latest;
atom
    proc/Bumped(atom/A)
        world<<"Ow.." //THIS DOESN'T SHOW WHEN I BUMP THE SIGN.
        return 1
    movable/Bump(atom/A)
        ..()  //calls the normal Bump() information on src (src=bumper)
        A.Bumped(src)  //Calls A's Bumped() after src.Bump() is finished doing whatever it is doing.


obj
    var
        mess
    Sign
        icon='Madjarjarbinks.dmi'
        icon_state="afk"
        density=1
        Bumped(mob/character)
            character<<browse(mess,"window=Sign")

Alright, nothing looks wrong... just make sure that there's a message in the sign otherwise it'll be sending the null value (which closes that window).
Bumped(mob/character)
            character<<browse(mess,"window=Sign")
            world<<"\red Test:[character.name] bumped in to the sign. The sign's message is [mess]."


The little part there is to be used as a "debug" to see if the procedure is actually called (thus concluding that there's nothing wrong with the proc itself)

Still; nothing

In response to Madjarjarbinks
Nothing being as... no "debug" message (note: it is vital right now to have a debug message in)? No pop-up? Please be more specific.

If you do have a "debug" message in and it still does not work, make sure that the person bumping into the object is dense.

If still having problems, please be more specific.. afterall, it's a lot more better to get an idea of what the problem could be rather than just saying "nothing" which is VERY vague

Both things are dense, and I do have a message set and a debug message in.
