Vote count displayed is always zero

Bug Report

Current Behavior
Vote count is always zero in the discussion list

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open discussion list - all discussions, or any tag, sorting method doesn't matter. Refreshing doesn't make a difference - all posts show '0' regardless of the amount of votes.
2. Click on any post: the amount of votes is displayed correctly
3. Go back to the list (back button on browser or keyboard shortcut): the amount of votes for that post will now be the correct number.
4. Refresh the discussion list page and all votes go back to zero again.

@dinapolis can you share a screenshot of your gamification settings. I tried to reproduce this and upon refreshing the index, my upvotes did correctly show on the index..

I'm unable to reproduce this. Someone else should probably test this on their instance.

I'm hitting the exact same issue-- the up/down arrows correctly reflect my voting status, but the vote count always shows 0 until I go into the post itself.

I have tried clearing cache from Dashboard/Tools and from the command line with flarum cache:clear, and I ran the conversion from inside the extension, and it's not working.

Sorting appears to be working, it simply is not showing the vote count.

I can get you a URL if you contact me directly.

Thanks!

Ok, we're live-ish, so I can post more specifics now.

https://community.mycool.cards/all?sort=votes

Digging into the returned response, you can see that votes are null:

{
"type": "posts",
"id": "7",
"attributes": {
"number": 2,
"createdAt": "2026-02-22T22:40:47+00:00",
"contentType": "comment",
"contentHtml": "\u003Cp\u003EIt\u0027s me!\u003C/p\u003E",
"renderFailed": false,
"canEdit": false,
"canDelete": false,
"canHide": false,
"mentionedByCount": 0,
"canFlag": false,
"isApproved": true,
"canApprove": false,
"hasUpvoted": null,
"hasDownvoted": null,
"canSeeVotes": true,
"votes": null,
"canVote": false,
"seeVoters": false,
"canLike": false,
"likesCount": 0
},

But if I click onto one of the posts and look there, it's now showing the right value:

{
"type": "posts",
"id": "7",
"attributes": {
"number": 2,
"createdAt": "2026-02-22T22:40:47+00:00",
"contentType": "comment",
"contentHtml": "\u003Cp\u003EIt\u0027s me!\u003C/p\u003E",
"renderFailed": false,
"canEdit": false,
"canDelete": false,
"canHide": false,
"mentionedByCount": 0,
"canFlag": false,
"isApproved": true,
"canApprove": false,
"hasUpvoted": null,
"hasDownvoted": null,
"canSeeVotes": true,
"votes": "1",
"canVote": false,
"seeVoters": false,
"canLike": false,
"likesCount": 0
},

If I hit back, the vote count for the post I looked at updates, despite not appearing to make any network calls. If I reload the page, it resets to 0.

Not sure if there's something else I can look at that might help resolve this.
