Hey friends,
We’re running the `discourse-reactions` plugin, and one of our mods discovered that you cannot remove a reaction you made on a post if it is too old.
It looks like reactions over 24 hours can’t be removed? Is this intended?

This is intended, you can change it in Settings though.
My forum is down rn but I think it’s something like `undo post action timer`

Hello and welcome @nhcarrigan 🙂
As @darkpixlz says, that is set by the `post undo action window mins` admin setting:

If you’re open to suggestions, then it would be great if the actions could be separated, I want reactions to be undoable for 48 hours, but flags in 5.

Ah! Many thanks!
I was looking in the plugins settings and didn’t see an option - figures I was missing something obvious! 😅

I was about to write that we are always open to #Contribute > Feature requests and #Contribute > UX changes (which is still true 🙂), but now I’m not sure if you can actually ‘take back’ a flag? We may need to update the setting description, or I need to figure out what I’m doing wrong. 🙂
