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

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
