We have some users who cannot see the vote buttons in polls, they just see this:

Not sure what Safari browser version they are using but I will ask.

Is this a known issue?

Also it may be related but I sometimes see that and then after a refresh it is fixed, but they say it’s not working.

Yes plz, OS and browser versions are definitely the minimum.

Also helpful

- any adblocker? (a poorly configured one might block the JS needed for the poll)
- any JS error in the browser’s console? (not always easy to see on mobile)
- any browser extensions?

Two different people (so we can _probably_ rule out adblockers but I’ll ask)

One is on iOS 17.6 and one is on 16.7.16
