Hello, I think I’ve figured out where the problem is coming from: categories that aren’t marked as “ideas” can’t display the vote button. I had removed the “ideas” type from all my categories—except, of course, the ones I wanted to treat as idea suggestions. Those categories still have the vote button, but the others, which are just for discussion, have lost theirs. I think this is a glitch.
