mentions are good, likes are trash

notifications go with the overall mentions thing, and are good too. live updates would work great for sa as well. so there are some things to be gotten out of an upgrade certainly

any reasonable mentions system more or less boils down to [mention]my user name[/mention] with javascript layered onto the frontend to make it work appropriately

likes basically serve the same purpose as emptyquotes do here

The SA forums are a fossil and totally out of touch with today's internet. Also any remotely modern feature used on any other wildly popular social media site is bad.
