Not a Safari user myself but one of our forum users has reported that on iOS 26 (currently in beta, will be released within a few days on September 15th) XenForo's text selection tooltips are most of the time covered by Safari's native selection toolbar.

Maybe they can be repositioned?

I'm getting this too on the current iOS 26.01 on my iPhone using Safari, Firefox or Chrome. The workaround is to tap the right arrow and then tap elsewhere on the screen. This removes Apple's popup and allows Reply to be tapped.
 
Reproducible on an iPhone but not an iPad, both running iOS 26.0.1/Safari. A short up/down scroll may separate the two menus.

Automated triage: Can't fix

Thank you for reporting this issue. On iOS 26, Safari's own selection menu now appears just below the selected text, which is where the quote and reply buttons go. iOS moves that menu above or below the selection on its own, and websites can't find out where it is or move it. As a workaround, a short scroll after selecting separates the two menus.

This is an automated assessment. A member of staff may review and update it.
