Options for a Reaction

Reaction options​

Category - Choose the category for the reaction.

Verb - When enabled and possible, a verb will be used in place of the reaction name in alerts. For example, instead of "reacted to your post in the thread with Like.", it will say "liked your post in the thread.". In the textbox, enter the verb you would like to appear. To create the example above, you would enter “liked” in the textbox.

Note for Verb: This will not work on some add-ons that implement reactions, in these cases it will revert back to the default alert text with the reaction name.
