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.

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

      G.G.C. (Gibier German Cook) restaurant in Motomachi in Kobe: A tiny 2 floor restaurant that was founded in 1976. The original couple who owned/ran it retired and sold the business to a corporation who pretty much tried to keep it the same as it was.  Lots of lesser known (to me anyway) German beers available.  Venison with vegetables. The meat came from deer from Hokkaido. The chef told us that there's a whole industry around the use of all parts of the deer from the antlers to the hooves. Sure enough, directly accross the street from this restaurant is a shop that sells all manner of utensils, clothes and objet d'art all made from deer skin, bones and horns.... also owned by the same corporation. The venison was super tender 😋 Various decorations, a lot of which were quite old, no doubt from the original owners. A nice pilsner too which I'd never seen before.  It's well worth a visit but check the opening hours, they're closed on Wednesdays, only open 11:30am - 3pm on Mondays and Tuedays, 11:30am-3pm for lunch and 5pm-11:30pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and 11:30am-3pm and 5pm-9pm on Sundays. Last order is 30mins before close.

      Another BK R32 GTR money pit...

      By BK · Posted

      Have I not posted since 2022 ? wow... Yes, it's pretty much finished mechanically. I'll probably sell it soon as the old man is 80 in November, so 99% he won't ever drive it again. I don't really need 3 GT-R's and I haven't driven any of them since September last year - correction, drove my 33 earlier this year on Australia day. All of them have been like this since then.

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      So, after talking to Tyson at Auto Tech Engineering about my "cunning plan", he suggested to "not piss money away on stuff that the car probably doesn't need" (the max IAT at the end of the 1/4 ever only seen around 30°C, which is in no way a issue, and as such, for what I use the car for I really don't need colder IAT anyway The whole point of the "upgrades" that I thought about doing was that my IAT started creeping up from 25°C to 30°C when cruising, then drop back down, then raise back up, rinsing and repeating, it has never done that before, so after talking to FI interchillers they assumed that it was the Bosch pump starting to fail, and if I was going to replace the pump....... I would do my usual thing of "while where in there" But, Tyson said he has seen similar things happen to IAT with failing or leaking AC compressors on other cars with interchillers, and as the AC compressor is 22 years old it is probably well on the way out anyway, and if a electric water pump fails it stays failed and doesn't just speed up and slow dow, but if a AC compressor starts to fail or is leaking, it will fluctuate and give a typical result to the IAT He said he could test the compressor and see how it is functioning and pressure test the whole system, but, as I do, I've just got them to order a new compressor to install to start with, and do a AC service and see if that fixes the issue That way, if it is the compressor, I wouldn't be spending lots of coin on something that wasn't the issue, and not actually needed, as the stage 2 kit, and pump, comes in at around $2k in parts alone, not including the plumbing and other parts that will be required or labour  And apparently the Bosch pump I have is really reliable and well up to task for the flow/pressure requirements that I need to keep my intercooler and massive amounts of boost heat (7 psi LOL) under control giving a nice and cold IAT A big shout out to Tyson for this, not many people will talk a idiot out of wasting money on car modifications, and the saved car budget funding can be wasted elsewhere on things that I may, or may not, need, like a nice new leather SS interior with red stitching......maybe I can convince the Minister for War and Finances into a nice trip down to Victoria for a week away to see the sights (I'll explain that I will need a hire car once we're down there so we don't have to worry about the Commodore being parked up on the streets at night, and it just so happens there's a joint that I can store it during that time) $1680 for all of the interior trims, + installation cost (I'll ask for a quote to install the trim if the new compressor fixes the issue)   https://leatherseats.com.au/products/leather-seats-trim-skins-kit-to-fit-vt-vx-vy-ser1-ss-green-black-diy-install
