I'll see if I can reproduce it, hopefully I'll be able to resolve that one.

The second one is broken code from the original version of the Jury system. The first Jury System which ran from 2011-2016 operated without rules. After the 2016 primary we reintroduced rules and modified the Jury System to accommodate them, which is how the system has worked ever since.

However, some old code from the previous Jury System still exists on certain pages. That old code should eventually be patched out at some point, but the reason it hasn't yet is because it only appears on pages that you're not supposed to be visiting in the first place.

If you're serving on a Jury and you feel you don't have enough context or information to make a decision, you should simply cancel out and let another member take a look, not search for the post on the forum to find out who posted it, or who they were talking to. While you're serving on a Jury, we deliberately strip out that information for a reason.

The bottom line is that if you're searching for posts while serving on a Jury, and you're ignoring the warnings telling you to go back to the post you're adjudicating, you're using the Jury System in a way that is not intended and you may see incorrect code or broken pages.
