Is there a way to display total upvotes and total downvotes by the arrows like it was before the update? I don’t care for the new way it displays up in the total score.

I’m seeing it on this very post.
I’m not seeing it on this post, no numbers next to the arrows.
I have this issue as well. Sometimes I can see them and sometimes I can’t
Pre 0.0.60, the rules for showing the votes in arrows were -> show scores setting enabled + and if there are downvotes
Now with 0.0.60 Dessalines reworked how the votes are displayed.
Modes (all in header):
They will be configurable once the setting is persisted.
I have proposed to add a Display votes in arrow setting (Old behaviour)
We will see what comes from it.
Wait I didn’t understand. Can I choose the mode on 0.0.60 or it’s set by instance/community moderators?
You will be able to chose it eventually, once we added the ability to persist the setting. It would be pointless to be able to change if it resets when you close the app.
It only shows the downvotes if it’s <90% liked. I’m in the process of adding additional vote display modes to lemmy’s back end, you can see that here.

@dessalines @LopensLeftArm Why not show them all the time?
See the existing github issues about this for my rationale.
@dessalines I disagree. Having all of that information available is harmless. The score confirms the upvote to downvote ratio, and it’s not cluttered. Also, you spelt “though” incorrectly.
I don’t agree with that. And I’ll spell tho exactly how I want to. Do you have a problem with that?
@dessalines Okay, we don’t have to agree. That’s the beauty of a friendly debate. And yes, I understand that orthographic customs evolve with the language; it was wrong of me to accuse you of a misspelling. It was my stubborn brain telling me to type that.
Apologies, I thought I was on the most recent update. Post-updste, I see in the update log that vote display notification has changed. I also want to revert the behavior.
Some people must have had the update early. I heard others talking about this before it happened to me. Now I wish we could go back to the old format. Much easier to see totals.
