1) My idea is that putting a 'Like' button at the end of every post. I have used a few other forums with this feature and I must say it is a very nice feature.

Pros:

  • Post Spam - You ask a question - you get a reply, not really worthy of a blank post saying "Thanks" due to the type of question - It will show your respect without spamming the thread.- Example: Did you own a R32 GTR or a R32? Response - R32 GTR - Like. (Not really worthy of a "Thanks".
  • Appreaction of a post that you thought was witty/ helpfu - Not making your post or thread feel useless when effort is put in.
  • No 'Dislike' button so you won't recieve a negaitive jester when not wanted / needed.
  • A level of satisfaction when recieving a like.

Cons:

  • Following the Facebook 'Like' feature - Some people may find it a Facebook thing and not for forums (Hashtags belong on Twitter etc).
  • Extra cluster on a thread - it would soon be the norm after a few days - but can be an issue for some

2) Second Idea is to put @Name - this helps when wanting to call someone out - example: "@Not a Pulsar Didn't you find a fix for this issue?"

Pros:

  • If you are quoted or mentioned somewhere, you will always be notified (Do note, the person has to use @name for it to come up in the notification window).
  • Easier use instead of quoting, when you don't have a post to quote.
  • Easier way to grab someone's attention if they have a possible answer (Example above).
  • If you know of someone wanting to buy a part you can @name them and it'll notifiy them - also good for a sellers point of view - more traffic to their thread.
  • Hyperlinks to their profile if clicking on the tagged name

Cons:

  • @tagging spam - People can be idiots and @name someone in many of posts and they will get a notification - troll factor.
  • If you did not want to be mentioned but you were / called out - Regardless, you would normally come across the said post - but you are notified to back yourself up instead of letting the claims against you sit there.
  • Following the Facebook 'Tagging' feature - Some people may find it a Facebook thing and not for forums (Hashtags belong on Twitter etc).

Sorry if this has already been suggested.

Like Not a Pulsar likes this and 15 others.

Great thread - thanks.

Originally the 'reputation' system on Invision allowed users to increase or decrease a users reputation, as well as leave comments. This was disabled immediately as we could see that the system would not be taken seriously and people would misuse it. However, the latest version of Invision has a cool new addon which allows for a simple 'like' button as you have suggested, doesnt allow negatives or comments. Brilliant! I have enabled it and 'liked' your post already. :)

Yes! The @name addon is one I want also. It would be really beneficial to be notified when your name has been mentioned. This is on my list and there is likely already a plugin for it which means I'll get it installed today or over the weekend.

Thanks Jeremy!

@@PranK Glad to see that you like my idea and have already implemented the ideas.

I can see the tag working in the post, however the forum has kinda pooped itself, so I am unable to see if I get a notification (Not sure if it's because of the new plugins or because I'm using the work Internet Explorer).

Yeah, the install of the @Mention hook ran a query which locked all the database tables ... bleugh.

Trying again; @

The forum is still disfigured. So I am unable to see any Notification menues or tabs.

I'll take a screenshot for you.

However, if the tag shows like this @@PranK (Hyperlinked) It will be working.

Okay.. So... I cannot use the computers browser because I am unable to login after I deleted my cache (i get logged out and there is no top bar / login with the disfigured forum). So I am currently on my phone.

I'll try it when I get home. My work browser is extremely unreliable. I did just try it and it was still disfigured, but I'm guessing I need to delete my cache again. I'll try at home where the browser will be running the redone cache you just did. I'll give you a @@TAG :D

      Blue slip

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
