Reaction Tags Busted? Investigating Missing Icons

  • Thread starter DaveC426913
  • Start date
In summary, there was a discussion about two posts in a thread that had a "reaction" tag at the bottom with the member's names (Russ and Jim). However, there was no label accompanying the tag and no icon or rollover text. One user mentioned that according to the HTML, the reactions were "Likes" but there was still no icon or text when moused over. It was later revealed that the issue was caused by a temporary drop in the CDN, but it could easily be fixed in 15 minutes. The user jokingly gave the person 20 minutes to fix it.

I was just reading this other thread. Two of the posts have a "reaction" tag at the bottom with the member's name (one Russ and the other Jim). I'd expect a label with them, such as 'Likes this' or 'Informative', but these have none.

According to the HTML, they're 'Likes', but there's no icon, and no rollover text:
Code:
<span class="reaction reaction--small reaction--1" data-reaction-id="1">
  <i aria-hidden="true"></i><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7"
     class="reaction-sprite js-reaction"
     alt="Like"
     title="Like">
     </span>

Yeah, I have the same problem. A mouse-over on the "like" word just results in an empty box. Mouse-overs along the length of the box show the words for each icon that isn't there.

I had to drop the CDN for a couple months and this was a little collateral damage. I can fix it in 15min.
