How to Fix "No" in GitHub Code: Why Does This Happen?

Select Language:

If you’re trying to add a reaction to a comment or post, but find that clicking on the reaction buttons isn’t working, here’s a simple way to fix it.

First, look at the reaction buttons. They usually have symbols like 👍, 👎, 😄, 🎉, and others. If clicking them doesn’t do anything, the issue might be with the webpage not recognizing your click properly, or there’s a glitch.

Here’s what you can do to resolve this:

Refresh the Page: Sometimes, a quick refresh can solve temporary issues. Press the refresh button or hit F5 on your keyboard.

Clear Your Browser Cache: Old or corrupted cached data can cause problems. Clear your browser’s cache through the settings menu, then reload the page.
Update Your Browser: Ensure you’re using the latest version of your browser, as outdated browsers can cause compatibility issues.
Disable Browser Extensions: Some extensions might block scripts or interfere with buttons. Try disabling extensions one by one to see if that fixes the problem.
Try a Different Browser: Sometimes, switching to another browser like Chrome, Firefox, or Edge can help determine if the issue is browser-specific.
Check Your Internet Connection: Slow or unstable internet can sometimes prevent buttons from working properly.

If none of these solutions work, it might be a temporary issue with the website itself. Waiting a little while and trying again later can often resolve the problem.

By following these simple steps, you’ll likely be able to add reactions again and engage with content smoothly.
