So I do as usual and scroll down the forums, find a resource I want to check out and see a funny comment. I want to add a reaction to the comment and then this happens as you see on the picture. It is some of the worst things that can happen to people like me who are perfectionists at the highest rate. Could you please fix so that the black box appears over the comment and not below.
Okay this is now fixed. Iāve also updated the styling to use the current them colors. 
Sorry, I actually just saw this reply, as well as the original feature request.
The like notification functionality is quite a bit more sophisticated in Discourse than you might expect (what with the batched notifications, and not notifying someone twice of the same like, but if someone likes your post after some period of time it starts a new batch, etc.), and itās that way because itās annoying to get 10 notifications just because 10 people decide to react 
to your post at the same time.
So, I wouldnāt be happy with the MVP solution (get a notification for every reaction), and I think itās kinda complicated to do the correct solution, although Iād be happy to look at a PR for it.
Heh, unfortunately this reads to me like āHey, I like your thing, but wouldnāt it be cool if it were a really different thing?ā 
This would be a tough challenge, given that weāre piggy-backing off the existing emoji popup functionality, although the emoji popup now can get automatically positioned, so maybe. Again, not on my list of things to work on immediately (not without some further prodding at least), but more than happy to look at a PR.
I get it and apologies if I came off insulting. In all honesty, I was looking for a shortcut to turning the code I linked to into a working Discourse plugin that didnāt involve me building itā¦ because I just figured out how to do a PR, soooo ā¦ that might take a while. 
Is it possible to add a setting such that all further retorts are distorted if the topic is archived?
I understand that you cannot ālikeā a post that is in an archived topic. The Edit, Like etc. buttons are all hidden when a post is archived. But retorts seem to still work.
I suggest hiding the āretortā button when a topic is archived.
Seems like a reasonable thing. Iāve pushed a fix which disables new retorts on archived topics.
it would be great if users who havenāt been approved are prohibited from adding retorts. Iāve had a few trolls that keep creating new accounts and adding 
and 
to posts they disagrees with.
Some people also go crazy with retorts, adding them to every post in a topic. A max retorts per day would be useful 
Would it be possible to add a reaction to a paragraph?
Hereās a example usage. Currently my team (lame slightly older people 
) like Facebook Messenger for the ability to like or react to a single short Messenger chat message.
I would like to move my team to something focused on longer, more thoughtful posts. Move from chat to discussion, move from something meat to be used as a perishable small talk to a tool leaving posts meant to be referenced and cited.
But the ability to react to the parts of someone consciousness stream is something I really like ā itās like saying this part I agree with, but this another part is something I donāt like.
Currently I can only react or like a full post only. Which implies the need for either splitting to shorter messages and posting them separately or needing people to react by citing parts of the longer message ā both results in more posts, which will clutter the discussion.
Is it doable? Is it something worth the implementation?
And set minimum post length to 1
This has been talked about elsewhere.
Without some fairly fundamental changes to Discourse core itās likely out of scope for this plugin.
No, not annotations, these will confuse the heck my old people. And I personally am an oponent to discussion trees, these are hard to catch up and are fostering culttered off topics and forking.
Just icon reactions. If you need to actually comment partās of text, cite them.
Iām speccing out some work on this plugin. @gdpelican and I have discussed it privately, but it would be good to get feedback from other users of the plugin.
Trust level limits, similar to the ālikeā trust level limits, including adding associated settings. @gdpelican suggests we use the existing ālikeā settings for this initially. The thinking behind having seperate settings is that retorts can have various connotations (e.g. negative), which may require different limits and restrictions.
Rate limits, similar to the ālikeā rate limits, including adding associated settings. Same discussion about the settings here as well.
A way to handle text-based retorts, e.g. āI Disagreeā or āThank Youā. These could be custom emoji, but they may need more space in the post retort UI. Ideally, this would fit within the existing functionality plus some custom CSS.
Ability to use Real Names or Avatars in the list of users who have retorted, instead of usernames. This would be toggled by a setting
Thereās also
@gdpelicanās not sold on this one, or at least not as a first order task, due to the complexity of adding it.
Sounds great!
My members have suggested this feature request many times 
My members are investors and sometimes someone will post an analysis of a stock, and it will get likes. Then someone will post a meme, and it will get the same amount of likes. If users can retort with āGood analysisā it would make it easier for me to reward and showcase members who contribute that type of content which is much more valuable to the community.
Avatars would be more useful than real names, in my opinion.
This is a nice-to-have, but not a need-to-have Requiring a trust level would eliminate 99% of problems Iāve had with new users adding 
s
Yeah fair.
Useful feedback, thanks.
Something that I would like to see, especially if youāre using the Like system as the model for much of the functionality being added, is a notification feature.
I would see this operating in the same way as notifications currently work for Likes. i.e. it would be a good idea to implement the logic that stops you being notified about every Like unless time has passed between Likes.
If my post attracts a retort I should receive a message telling me who reacted and with which emoji. I wouldnāt expect a notification for different retorts from the same user - unless significant time had passed between each different retort.
Badges based on retorts would also be neat
Iāve found that lots of folks can be a troll once in a whileā¦ Maybe theyāre just having a rough day. Discourse has tons of tools (flags, re-categorization, move to new topic, editing, hiding, convert to PM) to manage posts and repliesā¦ Interesting that folks using all of these tools would feel easily editing retorts is unnecessary.
Thatād be great. That way we can remove the ābugged/translatedā reactions that some people add as a result of translating the page using builtin translation tools in the browser (as mentioned in a previous report).
After recent Discourse upgrade, Iām seeing only undefined in text instead of emoji in all retort reactions, both new and historic.
Weāve adjusted color and position CSS for retorts but no other customizing that would relate to this glitch. Iām guessing something just broke with the upgrade to Discourse and needs to be fixed.
