Hi, all especially you Newbies .... I post this topic a few times a year .... Think about this .... if you ask for help / assistance ....let the folks who take the time to help you, Know you read their post .... It's not complicated - just click the THANKS or LIKE button or Both.... There are a few folks on this Board who I will NO LONGER HELP .... because they couldn't be bothered to let me know they read my or anyone else's answer ...... ride safe / ride happy .... Mike :thumbup:
Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd, When you solve an issue with the help from information given here, please post the outcome. It helps to let those who help know that they are being of assistance. Thanks for the reminder BK........ Jim
Annnnnnd when you are requesting help from us PLEASE include the year and model and any other information pertinent to your problem.
Aaannnnd don't forget that this Forum is where heaps of people come to get their Spyder/Ryker problems sorted, often just because the dealers are so inept or claim they've 'never heard of that problem before' despite it being reported and widely discussed here and elsewhere! :banghead: Yeah, right! :rolleyes: So while it might seem that these machines are all awful lemons if you only go by what you've read here about all the troubles people are seeking help for/with; and you might get worried that you might also be inflicted with all the problems you see being discussed here on the boards, just remember that MOST Spyder/Rykers owners aren't having all of those problems all of the time; nor is it even all that likely that they are having ANY of those problems ANY of the time!! :lecturef_smilie: In fact, MOST are very likely out there ryding their Spyders/Rykers and simply enjoying the Miles of Smiles without any major concerns! :ohyea:
All of which boils down to suggesting we all should all Ryde More & Worry Less! :thumbup:
However, as others have said, it is really only polite to acknowledge those who've taken the time & made the effort to offer assistance; and it's really appreciated by all if you try to keep us up to date with your progress; & then ultimately tell us the resolution of your particular problem too - that'll not only help anyone who may have the same problem now, it'll also be helping those who may be searching for a solution to the same or similar problem later on, possibly even years down track! So please, always try to wrap up your problem threads with that final resolution! :thumbup:
Ryde More & Worry Less! x2:cheers:
Good advice all. :yes:
I know I have asked a few questions but didn't realize this button existed. Apologies to all who have helped me out.Quote:

:hun: ???? .... the Thanks and Likes " buttons " are not incorporated in the Thread / post .... check the lower left hand corner UNDER the word body of any post ...... Mike :thumbup:Quote:

My apologies to all who have responded to questions I have asked, and to those who have posted things that helped me out. I never knew the "Like" "Thanks" buttons were there. I do now though. Thank you.Quote:

And I would not have known what to expect, look for and do pre and post buying the Spyder. The efforts of admins and posters is very much appreciated by myself and clearly others.
It's not the BUTTONS that get in the way, it's the LIST of likes and thanks between the posts that interrupts the flow.Quote:

It's just a personal pet peeve, I'll likely get over it. :dontknow:

Just bringing this thread back, so others may read it, and learn something ...... Many thanks to all that use this feature .... Mike :thumbup:
Perhaps the ideas in this thread could be incorporated in the Rules and Guidelines sticky. I think showing appreciation is not a rule but it is sure a good guideline. It makes this forum a lot friendlier and educational...... Jim
