# Missing upvotes

> Why your upvote count may change and how to investigate on FutureStack.

## Your upvote disappeared after logging in

Upvotes made without an account are tracked by browser fingerprint. When you log in, the system switches to your user ID. If the fingerprint and account do not match, the anonymous upvote may not carry over. To avoid this in future, log in before upvoting.

## The tool upvote count went down

Upvote counts can decrease if:

* Spam or bot votes were detected and removed by our filters
* A user who upvoted the tool deleted their account
* Votes from duplicate accounts were cleaned up

This is intentional. Upvote counts on FutureStack reflect genuine community signal.

## You cannot upvote a tool

Make sure you are logged in. If the upvote button is not responding, try a hard refresh with Ctrl + Shift + R on Windows or Cmd + Shift + R on Mac.

If the problem persists, report it at [team.futurestack@gmail.com](mailto:team.futurestack@gmail.com) with the tool name and your browser.
