Lost ability to undo own 'like' mark on a post

Product Support

AI-generated summary

A user, alven, reports losing the ability to undo their own ‘like’ marks on posts in the Manjaro forum, which began about 7-8 days ago. Previously, they could undo likes at any time, but now the window for undoing has been restricted to approximately 30 minutes. The user notes that the pointer cursor now indicates restricted action, a change not seen in over a year. They are unsure if this is due to a configuration change and seek to understand what caused it. The user asks four questions: 1) what could have introduced the restriction, 2) if the post_undo_action_window_mins setting is the only way to adjust the undo timeout, 3) if there’s a way to enable or disable the timer, and 4) how to find the date of any configuration changes in the forum logs. 2 Falco responds by providing a link to the staff action logs where changes to the post_undo_action_window_mins setting can be checked, assuming the user has admin access.

Hi!

The case appeared for the first time about 7-8 days ago.
I am just a user/visitor of the https://forum.manjaro.org/ forum, which engine version was 2.8.0.beta7.

The issue goes like this:
I add my ‘like’ mark on somebodies post.
Later I can’t undo my ‘like’ mark. The interval to undo became about 30 minutes.

“Became” cause a day, two ago I was able to undo my ‘like’ marks, which I gave a day and several days before.

Also, the pointer shape became like restricted action. I never saw the same for about a year of using the forum, so I was able to undo my old ‘likes’ any time in future.

I opened a thread where I tried to figure out what it what but can’t find the answer there: all looks like forum did not received any updates for last month and I was unable to find a person who could confirm that the forum configuration was changed.

I found the On unliking posts - #2 by Falco answer but it is very outdated for my case.

The questions are:

  1. What could introduce that prohibition of to undo own likes?
  2. Does the post undo action window mins command is the only one how to change that ‘likes’ undo timeout?
  3. Are there a separate command to turn on/off that timer (so to ignore or to read the value from it)?
  4. If it is a forum configuration was changed, how to find the date of that action in forum’s logs? What exactly to search if it is related to post undo timeout introduction?

Thank you!
