Vote System Reset

Just a heads up — the vote system (thumbs-up) has been reset.

We ran into some technical issues during a recent upgrade, and unfortunately, we had to wipe the previous vote data to get everything running smoothly again.

Thanks for sticking with us and for being part of the HamLike community!
