Am I missing something or is there still no way to +1 issues? All I see are ways to react to comments. Whenever I feel the urge to "+1" something it's for the issue, not a specific comment. Can someone explain how to add a reaction to an issue?


You are missing something :)

e.g., top right corner on https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/6239


I still only see it for the comment and not the issue itself.


This is due to inconsistency from Github on the labeling of the issue text. That issue has no comments - the header shows "lostthetrail opened this issue 7 hours ago · 0 comments". The first "comment" you see is meant to be the original issue text, not a comment.

And yet... the header for that text says "lostthetrail commented 7 hours ago". Github repurposed the commenting system to stand in for the issue text itself. Side effect of a lazy implementation.

tldr; The first "comment" isn't a comment. It's the issue itself, and is where you add your reaction for the issue.


That makes a little more since. Pretty lame though. For example, I don't wouldn't want to upvote the top comment here: https://github.com/rolaveric/karma-systemjs/issues/35
