The numbers getting turned into '1's is related to how lists are created in the shorthand. If observe:

  1. Hello

Hi

  1. How are you

I'm doing well

  1. What's new?

Not much

versus

1.) Hello

Hi!

2.) How are you?

I'm doing well

3.) What's new?

Not much

I mean I've already noticed that if you did 1) 2) it didnt break, but is there an actual reason why it does this with a period or is it just a bug

An Arabic numeral followed by a period is the correct way to enumerate a list according to the APA. It's kind of annoying to re-enumerate a list as you're compiling it. In order to "automate" re-enumeration, the markup system Voat uses assumes that whenever you have "#.", it means you are making a list. Try this (using the "code" feature designed by three tildes):

1. hello

hello

2. howdy

howdy

3. hiya

hiya
