Improved vote counting with downvote support and introduced a cleaner, linked post preview layout across HiveSuite.

HiveSuite & HiveReactKit

Accurate Vote Totals Across the Platform

Correct Vote Count Calculation

• Fixed vote count calculations for posts that receive both upvotes and downvotes.

• Previously, downvotes could cause vote totals to become incorrect or even negative in some situations.

• Vote totals now correctly represent the total number of votes cast, regardless of whether they are positive or negative.

Improved Statistics Handling

• Vote counters now use the total number of votes:

  • Upvotes
  • Downvotes

• No longer relies on the net vote count when displaying engagement statistics.

• Creates a more accurate representation of community participation.
