If you’re having trouble reacting to a comment or post on GitHub and find that your reactions aren’t registering, there’s a quick fix you can try. Sometimes, browser or page issues cause this problem, but refreshing your page can get things working smoothly again.
Here’s what you should do:
First, simply refresh the page. Use the refresh button on your browser or press the F5 key on your keyboard to reload the page completely. This action clears out any temporary glitches and often resolves the issue.
Once the page reloads, try reacting to the comment or post again. Click on the reaction button or emoji. If your reaction still doesn’t show up, make sure you are signed into your account and have the necessary permissions.
If refreshing doesn’t work, try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies, then reload the page. Sometimes stored data can interfere with how web pages function.
In cases where the issue persists across multiple sites or browsers, it might be helpful to check your internet connection or try using a different browser. Restarting your device can also help clear out any lingering issues.
By following these simple steps—refreshing the page, clearing cache, or switching browsers—you’ll usually get your reactions working again in no time. If the problem continues even after trying these tips, it might be worth reporting the issue to GitHub support or checking their status page for ongoing outages.
