This happens both here on [meta.discourse.org](http://meta.discourse.org) and on my own Discourse installation. Nothing seems to happen when either 👍 or 👎 are clicked, nor does anything happen when I click “Show results” in @discobot’s poll. To reproduce, initiate the advanced user tutorial and follow through 'til you get the reply from the poll step. I tried this in both Firefox 53.0.3 (64-bit) and Chromium version 58.0.3029.110 Built on Ubuntu, running on Ubuntu 16.04 (64-bit).

I thought that this would be an easy fix, but the source code for this checks out:

> <https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/plugins/discourse-narrative-bot/config/locales/server.en.yml#L413>

I don’t understand where it went wrong. It seems as if this bit is missing in the finished post:

```
<i class="fa fa-circle-o" aria-hidden="true"></i>

```

I was hoping for an easy fix that I could submit myself, but I’m a bit lost now. Posting this via the API seems to work just fine:

```
post_details = {
    "title": "This is a poll!",
    "raw": "Hey, nice poll! How’d I do in teaching you?\n\n[poll]\n* :+1:\n* :-1:\n[/poll]",
    "category": "1",
    "created_at": "2017-06-01T00:00",
    "tags[]": ["yes", "no", "maybe"]
}

```

Here is what I found using Pry on my own Discourse installation, my poll looks like this:

```
raw:
    "[poll type=regular max=16]\n* Everything is going to be alright\n* Everything is not going to be alright\n[/poll]",
cooked:
    "<div class=\"poll\" data-poll-status=\"open\" data-poll-name=\"poll\" data-poll-type=\"regular\" data-poll-max=\"16\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"poll-container\"><ul>\n<li data-poll-option-id=\"374d020e157fb96528625ca6425b4262\">Everything is going to be alright</li>\n<li data-poll-option-id=\"f94147e24ee33997b8f922766b8e7d12\">Everything is not going to be alright</li>\n</ul></div>\n<div class=\"poll-info\"><p><span class=\"info-number\">0</span><span class=\"info-text\">voters</span></p></div>\n</div>\n<div class=\"poll-buttons\"><a title=\"Display the poll results\">Show results</a></div>\n</div>",

```

…and this was @discobot’s reply:

```
raw:
    "Hey, nice poll! How’d I do in teaching you?\n\n[poll]\n* :+1:\n* :-1:\n[/poll]\n\nSometimes you may wish to **hide details** in your replies:\n\n- When you’re discussing plot points of a movie or TV show that would be a considered a spoiler.\n\n- When your post needs lots of optional details that may be overwhelming when read all at once.\n\n[details=Select this to see how it works!]\n1. Select the <img src=\"/images/font-awesome-gear.png\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\"> gear in the editor.\n2. Select \"Hide Details\".\n3. Edit the details summary and add your content.\n[/details]\n\nCan you use the <img src=\"/images/font-awesome-gear.png\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\"> gear in the editor to add a details section to your next reply?",
cooked:
    "<p>Hey, nice poll!
