Topics where topic voting is enabled are broken for visitors

On topics where topic voting is enabled (like topics in the Feature category here on Meta), visitors only get an almost blank page:

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading ‘vote_limit’)

clarification: you mean not-logged-in users?

(I can reproduce the problem with an incognito browser)

I noticed it while I was not logged in. Not sure if it also happens for logged-in users with a different vote limit than mine. (I think TL0 have 0 votes on Meta, so it could be a problem for them too, but I didn’t check. However, 0 is not the same as null.)

This should be fixed and will be deployed here soon, it was a simple but silly error of not checking to see if a user existed before assigning a class to the voting button.

Thanks for reporting.
