If your GitHub comments are not showing the reactions (like thumbs up, thumbs down, smiley, etc.), it can be frustrating. Here’s a simple way to fix this so you can see and add reactions to comments easily.
First, check if your browser or your security settings might be blocking some scripts on GitHub. Sometimes, ad blockers or privacy extensions can interfere with GitHub features. Try disabling them temporarily and refresh the page. If the reactions appear, then the issue was caused by one of these extensions.
Next, clear your browser’s cache. Old data can sometimes cause display issues. Go into your browser settings, find the options to clear cache and cookies, and do that. Then, reload GitHub and see if reactions are visible now.
If reactions still don’t show up, make sure your browser is up to date. Outdated browsers can sometimes have trouble displaying newer website features. Update your browser to the latest version and restart it.
Sometimes, a simple browser restart can help reset temporary glitches. If that doesn’t work, try opening GitHub in a different browser to see if the reactions show up there. This can help determine if the problem is related to your current browser.
Lastly, ensure you’re logged into your GitHub account. Some features, including reactions, only work when you’re signed in.
By following these steps, you should be able to see and use reactions on GitHub comments. If the issue persists, contacting GitHub support or checking their help pages for known outages or bugs might be helpful.
