Something changed about reactions - or is it only my problem?

[RoyalChick]

Suddenly I am having trouble reacting to posts. Instead of letting me choose the various reactions it boots me immediately to a screen asking me if I want to 'confirm' like. Only like. And what a pain to have a separate confirm screen.
I have looked in my preferences in my account in case I missed something. I have also deleted the app and re-downloaded it. But now the issue has also appeared when I am on my PC on the web version.
Anything I can do to get back how it used to be?

Hi guys - usually that's caused by something interfering with the javascript, so either a slow connection, browser addon (like an ad blocker), etc.

Update. Shortly after posting this the problem disappeared on the web version on my PC. But I still have the issue in the app (iPhone). I mostly use the App on my phone so it is really frustrating.

It happens very rarely. Try clearing your phones history and cache then rebooting it. You'd be better off using the browser on your phone instead of the Apple version app.

It happens to me sometimes but usually just if my service is spotty.

Exactly!

Can someone give me the idiot's guide on what to do about that?

Computer, phone, or tablet?

Also...make sure it's updated regularly too.

I'm having the same problem this afternoon and eve. Sometimes I can only add a like and sometimes I can add other reactions. Very intermittent. I'm using an android phone.

I'm getting this alot today.

I have never had the issue before but it is more often than not this afternoon and evening.

It also seems to be associated with how it handles reactions given - you know where you can see if someone loved one of your posts you can click and normally it takes you to the post they loved. Right now it isn't doing that either - it is taking me to the right page but not the specific post. That is not as much of an issue as not being able to use the reactions, but kind of annoying too!

It rarely happens to me, but today it's just annoying.

Liking your post.
